Another common type of kidney stone is a uric acid stone. Red meat and shellfish have high concentrations of a natural chemical compound known as a purine. High purine intake leads to a higher production of uric acid which then accumulates as crystals in the joints, or as stones in the kidneys.
Good foods for kidney stones caused by calcium oxalate include most vegetables and meats like pork and lean beef, which should be eaten daily to improve overall health. There are a handful of foods that are bad for people prone to this type of kidney stones, however. Peanuts, beans and legumes, most berries, grapes, dark leafy vegetables, soy products, and citrus fruits are just some of the foods these people should usually avoid.
