How fast do Uric Acid Kidney stones form?

It seems like the night after I eat meat (1/2 lb of beef or chicken) a I get a stone. I’m primarily vegetarian now, but this has happened the last two times I’ve eaten meat and I’m wondering if this is normal and can be expected every time I break my no-meat diet?

The first time it happened I’d been meatless for 2 weeks, second time was 2 weeks after that.

Uric acid stones form over time, so it is unlikely that one meal of meat can instantly form a stone. If you are getting stones so frequently and you have it properly confirmed that they are uric acid, you need to see a suitably qualified professional about a low uric acid diet.
