Hi everyone....

I'm sure all those who have prostate cancer and are prone to kidney stones are frustrated by the ever changing so called kidney stone diet (where most of the healthy foods cause more stones)

If you have cancer and can't have dairy products...whole grain breads or cereal...no soy...cannot have healthy grains and many healthy vegetables.....

Nobody anywhere has a list of foods that help both situations. And the food manufactures make almond milk, soy milk...(the coconut milk is mostly water with no nutrition at all) never seem to take this into consideration.

Eating a healthy plant based diet is very hard if you have to avoid so many foods. I know there are healthy foods one can eat....but I find it hard to live on brussel sprouts and cantaloupe for the rest of my life (and I like mushrooms) but the options are limited and there seems to be no mention of this combination of illnesses anywhere on the internet.

Anyone ever see an article about this awful situation?

I don't know much about kidney stones, thank goodness, except that they hurt like heck.
But just a comment, on plant based diets... there is another school of thought, that plant based is just wrong. Not that you shouldn't eat vegetables, but plant based diets tend to be low fat, high carb, this school of thought says high fat with saturated fat being good and even necessary (but not in excess), but mostly good fats, very low NET carbs, NO grains, including whole grains. No added sugar. There's more too it, but that's a key part of it as it relates to your question.
Not sure how that affects kidney stones.

The stones do hurt quite a lot. Passing them is also pretty gnarly.

Interesting about your diet information.

Will have to look into that. From what I've read..you know the usual..no red meat, lots of green veg, beans, nuts, no dairy

beans and nuts are a kidney stone no no.

Food for thought!

Fuzzboxman, there is a website, Cureality.com, but it is a paid subscription. I think $5.99 a month. But you might want to read the book "WHeat Belly" or the newer one, Total Wheat Belly". You can find it on Amazon.

It's all authored and sponsored by Dr William Davis, former Practicing Interventional Cardiologist. His stuff is not mainstream, but there are guys in the website forum that have seen their plaque load regress (very uncommon) by following his program.
