  1. Hi,
    New to this site as my husband has been diagnosed with uric kidney stones. Question about cranberries- can I use whole, frozen or dried?

    Thanks,

    1. Thank you for reaching out to the Kidney Community Kitchen. Nutrition recommendations will vary based on individual blood work and medical history with Kidney Stones/Kidney Disease. I would recommend consulting with a renal dietitian at your kidney clinic team for individualized advice. The following is a general resource on preventing uric acid kidney stones: https://smh.andornot.com/en/viewer?file=%2fmedia%2fdocuments%2fPDFs_Database_Collection%2f72982_PE_Diet_tips_to_prevent_uric_acid_kidney_stones_Feb09_2022_V2.pdf#phrase=false
