Can kidney stones drink lemonade?

Kidney stone patients generally drink lemon water, but should pay attention to control the amount of drinking.

Lemons in lemon water taste sour, but the citric acid in it will produce carbon dioxide and water after metabolism, so lemon belongs to alkaline food. For kidney stone patients, lemon water does not contain adverse factors that can lead to stone formation, such as calcium, oxalic acid, purine, etc., so it can be consumed normally in daily life. Moreover, citric acid in lemon water can also make urine alkaline, which helps to increase the solubility of stones and reduce the formation of stones. However, patients should pay attention to drinking in moderation. If drinking lemon water in large quantities, it may cause certain irritation to the gastrointestinal tract.
