I know. You are looking at this and thinking, “this is NOT a pizza, Jill.”

Well, fair enough, but it is a tasty way to get your calcium needs met. My patients come to me thinking they need to focus on oxalate, but truly, one of the more challenging elements of the Kidney Stone Diet is incorporating calcium back into your day.

Men and women need up to 1,000 mg/day of calcium and post-menopausal women need up to 1,200 mg/day. Remember why this is important by reading this article.

For a quick snack, very filling, and to me at least, satisfying, you will see that getting calcium back into your day is not as hard as you think.

I am lactose intolerant, but I can handle swiss cheese and I’m happy about that because it has the lowest sodium and high calcium combo of any cheese. Enjoy!

Ingredients

Scale
  • One tortilla
  • Fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 2 slices of swiss cheese
  • Fresh Tomato Slices

Instructions

  1. Cut up swiss cheese, basil, tomato, and place on a flour tortilla.
  2. Sprinkle on the Italian seasoning—as much as you like.
  3. Place in the toaster oven and cook until your desired level of doneness. I consider mine done when the cheese is all melty but the tortilla is not too crispy.  Remember, your kitchen, your rules.

A delicious way to get a good deal of calcium!

Note: I used a very low carb, low-calorie tortilla so the calories for mine were not as high as this recipe’s calories count. Not all nutrition calculators will have every single store brand so your nutrition may vary.

Notes

Oxalate: Less than 5mg per serving*   Calcium: 487mg   Added Sugar: 0g   Servings: 1

* With less than 5mg of oxalate and combined with the calcium, you can consider it zero!

    Thanks for another quick and tasty recioe to try.
    How many ounces of Swiss cheese is needed for this recipe?
    I buy pieces of Gruyere or Emmental, never processed Swiss cheese slices.
    How significant are the nutritional differences with real cheese?

      Hi Eileen,
      I used two slices, and the ounces will vary depending which brand you buy.
      You can look at the back of any package you buy to see nutritional differences.

“The Kidney Stone Diet is far more than just a diet; this plan is life-altering!”

“The group calls will transform you physically and emotionally. Once you start this journey, your health naturally improves. I have lost a total of 40 pounds and have consistently kept it off. The group calls are such support; this is more like family than a zoom meeting to stay accountable. Jill is far more than a nurse; she is a life coach. Her platform is invaluable.”

Kim J. | Kidney Stone Prevention Course

“The best decision I’ve made has been to join this group.”

“I have been working on weight loss for many years. This group has kept me on track and has helped my continued success with my weight loss.”

Kate L. | Group Calls with Jill

“I have been following the Meal Plan for about 6 weeks and I feel amazing.”

“Eating healthy has also encouraged me to go to bed earlier, so I am also getting more sleep. Because of that, I have been able to get up before work and exercise! So yes, the positive effects are spilling over into all areas of a healthy lifestyle.”

Jerry T. | Meal Plan Subscriber

“I have been a part of the group calls with Jill for the last 14 months, and they are essential to being so successful with the Kidney Stone Diet Prevention Plan.”

Sarah B. | Group Calls with Jill

“These calls are the gold of this program!!”

“I can’t say enough about how Jill knows just the right questions to ask us or how she prods us to think about what is going on in our lives.”

Monica K. | Group Calls with Jill

“I took the course with Jill, and my second 24 hour urine was MUCH better than the first.”

“She gives very practical information, and it WORKS. I was totally overwhelmed at first. I got very poor diet information from my doctors. Jill made it easy for me to understand, and I took it one day at a time. I still watch her videos when I need a tune-up. Jill is the best, and she really cares about all of us. Take the course—it will help you!!!”
