default
Posted on Wed, 21 Jun 2017
Question: Hello Doctor,
I am a diabetic with recurrent kidney stone problems (3 times in last 12 years). The maximum kidney stone that I have had is 5.5mm. I have had kidney stones in both kidneys and on all 3 occasions, it has passed through urine with medications.

I go to the gym regularly. Is it safe for me to take whey protein available in the market? Or will this trigger stone formation? Please advise.

Regards,
Abhay
