So....
About 3 years ago I had kidney scans as I thought I was passing blood (I wasn't but it's a long story). I was given the all clear. About 6 months after I started to use protein shakes. Not intensively only 1 or so a day. But.... I may have added more powder to the liquid than on the label. Not by a lot. But possibly 1.5 times.
So....
I now have a 1 cm stone in my kidney. I am thinking it was the powder. Do you think that is right? Would Soya Protein have the same stone problem as Whey? Would brown rice protein and other plant based proteins? I stopped consuming milk products a couple of months ago.
Was it because I added too much protein per liquid? Or should I avoid all protein powders altogether in people's opinions?
I really want to do all I can to avoid further stones...
I know this will have people on both sides, but I'm interested to hear.
