At the same time, vegetables such as bamboo shoots, pumpkin, eggplant, garlic, onion, etc. should not be consumed too much. Leeks and mushrooms (including mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, popcorn mushrooms, etc.) are foods that cause kidney stones and must not be consumed. Beans such as soybeans, including soybeans, lima beans and black beans are rich in protein and greatly contribute to the formation of kidney stones, so they should not be consumed in large quantities.

Do not eat fruits and dried goods rich in oxalate, including lychees, longans, mangoes, durian and jackfruits, grapes, dried figs, stone fruits, etc. Acidic fruits such as apples can be eaten in moderation, but not too much.
