Why we should not eat tomatoes in Kidney Stones ?
Most common kidney stones are calcium oxalate stones containing calcium and oxalate-oxalic acid.
If you want to cofirmm your type of stone, send the passed stone for chemical evaluation or send your urine for examination.
Body produces Oxalates in our liver from amino acids proteins and also formed when we metabolize vitamin c. 20-40% of oxalates come from our food. Oxalates are found in nuts, fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes.
Tomatoes are botanically fruits. In 1893 a US supreme court directed that it will be considered as vegetables.
Tomatoes are considered notorious in forming kidney stones especially its seeds. People think in kidney stones we should not eat any thing containing seeds.
Is it True ?
Contrary to general belief scientists have cleared that there is no role of tomatoes in forming kidney stones or in recurrence of kidney stones.
Tomatoes contain oxalates in very small amount. About 100 gms of tomatoes contain 5 mg of oxalates. If you eat kilos of tomatoes only than you may develop excess of oxalates in your body.
How can we reduce oxalate content of Tomatoes?
1. Oxalates combine with calcium present in foods to form calcium oxalate which are then excreted in faeces from colon. So to prevent absorption of oxalate we should eat calcium rich diet with tomatoes or other oxalate rich foods. Both will combine and will be excreted out of body as tomato paneer.
2. Before eating tomatoes drink lots of water to keep body hydrated.
3. Oxalates are water soluble. They can be reduced from vegetables by boiling and discarding the water in which tomatoes are boiled.
4. Do not mix tomato and spinach as both are oxalate rich foods.
5. Don't worry about seeds as they are passed in potty without absorption.
Other common precautions
6. Drink atleast 3-4 litres of water daily. You should produce atleast 2 litres of urine daily.
7. Eat less sodium in food eg common salt (NaCl)
8. Eat less animal proteins
9. Avoid vitamin C supplements , Should not take more than 500 mg in a day
10. Eat more calcium rich foods
