Cashews, that’s what she was eating if you just want the answer. You’re welcome😊

@alphaturtle4839

The real scary thing about this video is she got a bone and kidney biopsy before they asked her what she had been eating.

@themostbeautifuldogjayla7483

They milked all that money from her before asking her what she ate. Our medical system is criminal.

@consistenc51

Went straight to the comments for the answer, thanks

A couple years ago I made the same exact mistake. My favorite grocery store had cashews pretty cheap in the bulk section and I thought I was doing myself a beg favor by snacking on them instead of  junk foods. Thank God I got tired of them and quit.I had no idea what I could have done to my kidneys.

@onthedottedline1

I don’t understand why doctors don’t FIRST investigate patient diets, exercise and environment  that could be the root cause behind conditions. That would narrow things down before endless tests and pills to treat symptoms.  Thank you for sharing this!

My son had kidney failure right after he turned 25. He was in the hospital for about around a week and the doctor couldn't figure it out. They placed a shunt and started him on dialysis. He had one dialysis treatment, and his kidney function started to recover. He was then released from the hospital, and was monitored for a few weeks. This was totally terrifying, especially as we never found out why it happened. He's going to be 41 this year and hasn't had any problems since. This was a fascinating case. I'm a subscriber now. Thanks doc!

@androd-87

Wow. Thank you!  I’ve been watching my kidney numbers tank for years.  
The doctor last year had no idea why.  
I do now! Thank you.

@beenthere4076

This video was eye opening to say the least. In fact, it was mind-blowing! I'm so glad this woman got the proper care from the proper professionals so they could properly diagnose the problem instead of putting her on dialysis and then a waiting list for kidney transplant!

@iancormie9916

All these tests and no one asked what she was eating and drinking.

@ExplodingPsyche

The thing that drives me crazy about nutritional YouTube videos is this: I watched this video and was told combining calcium with oxalates would prevent them from building up in the kidneys. Then immediately after, I watch another video where I'm told to avoid calcium because it combines with oxalates to make calcium oxalate kidney stones. It's like this with just about everything, and everyone's got research to "prove" their point of view.

@theudehgroup6658

WOW! I've snacked on cashews and almonds a lot lately, and my diabetes is getting resistant to medications.  Now, I'm walking away from them. I'm glad I turned to listen to this post. Thanks.

@pattyoconnell1950s

@AlEndo01

"Dr. Violin" has the gift!  She's not only exhibits outstanding clinical reasoning, she is also an adept translator from doctorese to English, making even complex issues understandable.  I do hope she has the opportunity to be trailed by a parade of medical students, who would greatly benefit from her teaching skills.  Another great video.

@jalphonso1515

Sally Norton is a good source for understanding the dangers of oxalates. Do your research. Thanks be to God for the internet. Knowledge has certainly increased.

@Smoothoperator65

Everything in moderation! Ive been preaching that for years !!

@daniellealongi6084

I am a renal (kidney) dietitian and loved this! Everyone should see a dietitian for so many reasons. We never recommend eliminating specific food or nutrients unless it is medically necessary.

@kristensorensen2219

Seeing a nephrologist to learn what is causing me to make calcium oxylate stones helped me a whole lot.  This video helped more!  Thank you!!!

@donross7820

As a physician who is huge on prevention and food as medicine, I would say kudos to you for such a great and interesting video! Thank you
