Can carnivore diet cause kidney stones?

I got severe uric acid stones after trying a heavy meat-only diet for three months. If you are doing this, you must drink at least 3-4 liters of water daily and monitor your urine pH. Honestly, a balanced diet is far safer for your kidneys.

I agree, high animal protein definitely increases the risk of kidney stones. Make sure to drink plenty of water and keep your sodium intake low if you are eating more meat.

I ended up in the emergency room with severe, unbearable lower back pain because of a kidney stone caused by a high-protein fad diet. Please do not follow these extreme diets blindly. See a doctor and get your kidney function tests done first.

Yes, high intake of animal protein makes your urine more acidic, which increases the risk of calcium oxalate and uric acid stones. It is always better to have a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables and water to protect your kidneys.

Going on a carnivore diet is not only expensive for buying meat, but the medical bills for kidney stone treatments and scans can cost you a fortune. Better to get a cheap uric acid blood test first and plan your diet practically with a proper doctor.
