First thing, dealing with a 10mm kidney stone can be a bit tricky, so ensuring you’re getting medical attention alongside dietary adjustments is important, alright? Regarding uric acid and stones, let’s keep an eye on them from both a western and Ayurvedic view. Your uric acid level isn’t crazy high but it’s good to manage it alongside the stone issues.
In Ayurveda, kidney stones are often linked to Vata and Kapha dosha imbalances. For diet, think of hydrating a lot, like seriously a lot – water aids in passing stones and flushing out excess uric acid. Aim for about 2.5 to 3 liters a day, sipping gradually. But, listen to your body’s thirst; don’t overdo it.
Now, you might wanna avoid high purine foods; they’re usually the sneaky culprits increasing uric acid. So, reduce red meats, organ meats, and seafood, especially shellfish. Beans and lentils in excess should also be monitored. However, in moderation chickpeas or mung beans can be okay. Remember, moderation is kinda key here.
For the stones, citrate-rich foods like lemons or limes could be your buddies! Start your day with warm lemon water if feasible. It help potentially break down the calcium component of stones.
Also, try to incorporate barley or barley water. It’s known (especially in Ayurveda practice) to aid urinary health and support stone management. Cooked barley could be integrated into meals, or just sip on unsweetened barley water through the day.
Keep dairy to a moderate level rather than cutting it altogether. Calcium isn’t the enemy here; it’s about balance. Low-fat yogurt or milk should suffice, steering clear of high-fat/cream-rich choices.
Finally, make room for veggies – but avoid spinach and beetroots. These have oxalates, which are a little naughty if stones are your buddies too. Broccoli, cucumbers, and zucchini are neutral kinds for ya. Maybe try adding some cumin and coriander seeds during cooking; they bring digestive warmth and help balance doshas.
Always remember though, these dietary suggestions complement but don’t replace medical treatments or consultations. Any severe pain or complications mean you should definitely check in with a healthcare professional promptly to ensure everything’s on track.
