Ice cream might feel like a guilty pleasure that can't possibly be kidney-stone-safe, but the dairy base changes the equation. Zero oxalate, about 85 mg of calcium per half-cup. The milk and cream in ice cream provide calcium that binds oxalate from other foods in your meal. This doesn't mean ice cream is a health food — the sugar and saturated fat are real considerations for overall health. But from a pure oxalate perspective, ice cream is safe. A scoop after dinner isn't going to trigger a stone. Just account for the sugar in your overall diet.
