2. Organ meats, sardines, and seafood
3. Tomatoes, fruits, and nuts

Rationale:
Flour, milk, and milk products have high calcium levels and, therefore, are recommended to be reduced to decrease the risk of further episodes of calcium-containing calculi. Organ meats, sardines, and seafood, tomatoes, fruits, and nuts, and chicken, beef, and ham products are not high in calcium and do not need to be restricted for this client.
