Kidney stones are a very painful disease that can cause severe abdominal pain and lower back pain as the condition progresses, and in severe cases, surgery may be necessary. However, pregnant women are not allowed to take medication or undergo surgery, so they can only control their condition by paying attention to their diet and dealing with it after giving birth. What should I not eat for kidney stones during pregnancy?
Kidney stones are caused by excessive acidity in the body, so pregnant women should avoid consuming acidic foods or foods that may transform into acidic ones after ingestion. Do not eat fruits containing oxalates, such as grapes, apples, and raisins. Vegetables with high calcium content should not be eaten, such as tofu, dried tofu, bean sprouts, etc., as well as celery, green peppers, cilantro, spinach, etc.
Besides vegetables and fruits, avoid consuming animal liver for meat. Also be careful not to drink carbonated beverages such as cola, Sprite, etc. Milk should also be consumed in moderation, especially high calcium milk, which can worsen the symptoms of kidney stones. In terms of health food, do not take excessive amounts of calcium supplements.
Although kidney stones can be temporarily relieved, staying in the body for a long time is not beneficial. Pregnant women should choose whether surgery is needed to remove the baby after giving birth based on their own condition. If the condition is not very serious, you can drink plenty of water and do more jumping exercises to help firm the discharge.
