welcome to the forum.
Red meat is high in purines and so can form uric acid stones.
Kindly check your uric acid levels and if under control, there should be no worry.
If found to be high, red meat restriction becomes mandatory.
Do-s are--- high water intake, high fruit juice intake.
Donts are---- Restricted levels of red meat, fish and salt.
Best regards

Hi, many thanks for the query!
You should do- Metabolic workup of 24 hrs urine sample, Sr. PTH,
Sr. Uric acid, Sr. Calcium.
As per the reports, appropriate diet instructions can be given & if Sr. uric acid is raised, Uric acid synthesis inhibitors like allopurinol can be started.
Along with thiazide diuretics, you need to take Magnesium citrate, also take urine alkanizing agents with your Urologist's opinion.
Not 5 litres of water but you should drink such amount of water so that 2-3 litres of urine is voided in 24 hrs.
Wish you a good health.
Take care.
