The acid ash diet is not a fad, but rather a medically prescribed diet for those who suffer from kidney stones. An indication that the diet is needed is kidney stones.
An alkaline ash diet has plenty of fruits, milk and vegetables, but minimal fish, meat and cereals. Such a diet yields an alkaline waste product after digestion. An acid ash diet comprises of cereals, meat, fish and eggs but minimal vegetables and fruits. The excreted end products of digestion are acidic. An acid ash diet especially one with a lot of gluten predisposes an individual to health problems.
Milk and milk products, vegetables and fruits should be avoided when following an acid-ash diet because when they are metabolized, they leave acid residue in the body to be excreted in the urine. Acid-ash diets typically consist of large amounts of meat, fish, eggs and cereal.

The purpose of the acid ash diet is to naturally lower the pH balance within the body. When the pH balance is lowered, proteins and starches enter your system at a much quicker rate.
Kidney stone formation can be affected by the pH of urine in people who have a history of forming stones. If you've had kidney stones that contained phosphorus, a low-phosphorus diet may have been recommended, as well as a diet that produces "acid ash." Foods that produce "acid ash" include cheese as well as whole grains, meat, eggs, cranberries, prunes and plums. Struvite stones (those that contain the compound called magnesium ammonium phosphate) also call for a diet low in phosphorous and one that produces an acid ash.

Acid insoluble ash is the residue left behind after burning a sample of food or feed with acid to remove organic matter. It provides an estimate of the amount of impurities, such as sand, silica, and other minerals, in the sample that cannot be dissolved in acid. It is often used as an indicator of the purity and quality of the sample.
