Many diseases encourage kidney stones to come about such as hyperoxaluria, which happens due to some sort of bowel disease, or a disease that has to do with hypercalcemia such as hyperparathyroidism. When diagnosing a patient with kidney stones a 24 hr urine collection is taken and tested for a few things including calcium, oxalate, uric acid, pH, volume, creatinine, and citrate. Studies have shown that if you consume a normal amount of calcium in your diet daily that you have a lower chance at developing kidney stones as the calcium binds with the oxalate therefore creating less to be reabsorbed into the
Unit 21 Nutrition for Health & Social Care Task 3 P3 This is a report on the wide range of possible influences on dietary intake and nutritional health ranging from health conditions which dictate what a person can and can’t eat to lifestyle. Medical Disorders There are lots of medical disorders that dictate what we eat, such as : • Non-insulin Dependent Diabetes (Type 2 Diabetes) is not as severe as Insulin Dependent Diabetes (Type 1 Diabetes) as it can be controlled by diet alone.

“Diabetes can be tackled in different ways- by insulin and diet” (Rudy, 1999, page 19) Diet, when someone had diabetes it is best for their health to cut right down on the unhealthy foods, and stick to the health foods, this is due to the effectiveness of the medication you are on. If you eat junk food and do not eat healthy then your medication will not be as effective as it could be. Sticking to regular mealtimes is also another thing that could help you feel better as it will keep your “blood glucose levels under control”. (Rudy, 1999, page 20) There are 2 types of carbohydrates, 1 that is good for controlling diabetes and 1 that is really bad, these are starchy and sugary. Sugary- this is the 1 that people with diabetes should stay clear of, this is due to the “glucose getting into your bloodstream fast, this could cause a sudden rise in blood glucose levels”.

When using the 20% rule it works the same way.
