Relation Between Ketosis & Uric Acid Stones – Dr.Berg on Keto Kidney Stones

Your report will then be sent via email analyzing 104 potential symptoms, giving you a much deeper insight into your body issues. It's free and very enlightening.

Dr. Berg talks about higher levels of uric acid and uric acid stones. Because ketones are acidic and release more nitrogen as well as certain parts of your body needing glucose, more nitrogen is released. When your body makes glucose out of dietary protein and fat, this is called gluconeogensis. To the pathway to release this excess nitrogen is urea, in which you could end up with higher levels of uric acid crystals (gout). If your urine is too acid, it will be more difficult to dissolve these crystals. Higher insulin levels usually make higher levels of uric acid and gout, but the ketogenic diet can also do this...IF you do not consume enough potassium foods.
Normally, kidney stones are made from oxalates (90%), but on a ketogenic diet, you will have more uric acid stones (50% of the time).

RECOMMENDATION
1. Keeping your potassium high (vegetables).
2. Take potassium citrate
3. Lemon juice (because its citrates).
4. Sea salt (on a keto diet you need 1 tsp per day. If you are doing a high carb diet, you need 1/4th of a tsp.
5. Take vitamin K2 if you have a tendency of getting kidney stones as a K2 deficiency is a major cause of kidney stones.

In this video we are going to talk about ketosis, acids and stones. When you do a ketogenic diet, ketones are more acid so you are going to be releasing more acid to the body and you are going to be releasing something called nitrogen. A little bit more than you would if you are weren’t in a ketogenic diet. But because certain parts of the body or certain parts of the brain needs a little bit more of sugar, your body are also making a little bit of sugar from your dietary protein and dietary fat so it can make its own sugar, it is called gluconeogenesis.

I use a lime with my apple cider vinegar drink in the morning. Limes are also a good source of citrates, it has a slightly higher amount than lemons.

[karwansalih]

I did a keto diet for six months, as a result, I have high uric acid, and both my kidneys contain multiple kidney stones. Do not eat high protein, and too much fat without checking your Uric acid, and cholestrol!!

[jleetxgirl]

Always jam-packed with usable information! Than you for posting, Dr.Berg.

[itchyone]

ive had 3 gout attacks in 3 months on a ketogenic diet. ive lost weight ...20lbs. But have become much more susceptible to foods that previously didn't trigger my gout. Shrimp, Lamb were not triggers in the past ...are now triggers. Bone broth cleanse felt great daily ... but when i did it for a for a whole day ... gout attack. im still learning about my body

[kathleenwilson]

Wish I had seen this video before I started Keto. I now have gout in my right foot! Good info on how to get rid of it though. Thanks so much!

[robertromero]

So many flaws with keto i wish it wasent the only thing that worked for me

[saurabhkesharwani]

Very informative! 👍🏼
Wish you'd also talked about sources and supplements for potassium citrate!

[crsbovp]

Very important informations about uric acid... thank you very much, Dr. Berg!!!

[PhilipMcAdam]

I too do the limes and lemons with the cider vinegar in the morning. Great video and you have explained it very well

[wasiemqutteneh]

Thanks for the insight Doc. Worth a million bucks!

[angrybird]

In 1 litre of water add
1 lemon juice+1tsp of Himalayan salt and 1/2 tsp Stevia.... Try!! That's my electrolyte.

[MyMySharona]

Ive been working with a functional Dr and was on a diet very similar to Keto(no dairy, sugar, nightshades, grain, beans) and I ended up in the ER with a Kidney Stone for the first time ever, Wow was it painful! Seems there is so much varying info out there from Dr to Dr on how to deal with them. I am doing the Lemon in my water and have used Chanca Piedra. I also added some cheese in since on my diet I had 0 dairy whatsoever.

[nancygatto]

So why do a keto diet if it causes thiis?

[Ad-zknz]

Dehydration!! I have never drunk enough water and when I fast, my body has become even more acidic. As a result, I now have gout attacks on my fingers. I started drinking a lot of water and now I feel much healthier.

[darlcedrickarguelles]

No need to hurt yourself with keto. It is just a matter of calories in, calories out. Following a structured and balanced diet like the Agoge diet helps a great deal though.

[GNU_Linux_for_good]

02:45 But the intake of potassium citrate must be closely controlled through blood analysis. Too much of it can lead to heart arrhythmia.

[RWJSJG]

Thanks for all the information you share with us all Mr. Berg

[californiahighdesertpreach]

I have ask this before, ill ask it again, is the keto diet safe for people with kidney disease? Now I am asking Dr Berg so if your not him please don't answer me. I am a diabetic and I am trying to fight my disease the best way I know how.

[newlife]

1 teaspoon of sea salt! Can high blood pressure patients take the same amount?

[susileedean]

Excellent information. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
