2. Limit salt: Limit your salt intake to 2,300 milligrams or less per day. 
3. Eat less animal protein: Eating too much animal protein can make it harder for your kidneys to excrete substances that help prevent kidney stones. 
4. Limit foods high in oxalate: Avoid foods like spinach, rhubarb, wheat bran, tree nuts, and peanuts. 
5. Eat enough calcium: Eat calcium-rich foods like dairy products, soy products, beans, seeds, fortified tofu, and some green vegetables. However, be careful with calcium supplements and antacids with calcium, as they can increase your risk of kidney stones. 
6. Avoid sugary drinks: Some studies have linked sweetened drinks, especially those with high-fructose corn syrup, to kidney stones. 
7. Take probiotics.
