Kidney Stone Diet SPYR

Sherry has a renal leak that causes her to absorb too much calcium, leading to hypercalciuria. She wants to know if the Kidney Stone Diet will help her. The Kidney Stone Diet focuses on getting enough calcium, avoiding excessive salt and sugar, and not overdoing meat protein.
