Diet To Avoid Risk Of Getting Gravel In Kidney?

I've been suffering of backache since 1995 but just found out that my kidney has got some gravel in 2006, Since then, I've followed a Vietnamese traditional remedy to cure my health problem. I've eaten pineapple every day.
That means one or two hours after lunch I ate a pineapple and I did it for 8 months. After a couple of months of eating pineapple, I found some small stones (some were as small as a grain of sand and some were as big as half of a rice grain and they had orange color) were released through the urine when I was peeing. The procedure of releasing gravel lasted for several months. But I know that the gravel will be collected again now and then. I still have eaten pineapple several times a week to reduce the problem. So, My question is that " What kinds of food and drink I shouldn't eat and drink to avoid the risk of getting gravel in my kidney. Thank you so much.

hi,thanks for using health care magic
some people are more prone due to heriditary,food habits genetic causes..
avoid all foods which have a potencial to form kidney stones(calcium oxalate) and which irritate and acidify urine like carbonated drinks,cocoa drinks,choclates,condiments,onion,raddish,spinach,tomatoes,beans,cabbage,cauliflower alcoholic drinks,grpes,blackberries,strawberries etc
the most important is to take lots of fluids,atleast 3litres per day,,milk and milk products at normal quantities are beneficial...consult nephrologist /urologist for further details,,,get well soon
