Is milk bad for kidney stones?

Milk is not inherently bad for kidney stones and can be consumed in moderation. It contains calcium, which binds with oxalates in the digestive tract and prevents their absorption into the bloodstream, reducing the risk of calcium oxalate stones. However, excessive calcium intake from milk or other dairy products may increase the risk of stone formation in susceptible individuals.

If you are prone to kidney stones, it’s important to balance calcium intake with low-oxalate foods and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized dietary recommendations if you have a history of kidney stones.
