Foods that patients with kidney stones need to avoid mainly include oxalates, such as beets, chocolate, coffee, cola, nuts, etc. Meat and some fish may accelerate the production of uric acid and calcium in the urine, leading to the formation of stones. Foods high in purine are also prone to stone formation.
