After getting four kidney stones in less than 10 years… I now have a morning drink with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and lemon juice in water. Since I’ve been doing this, I have not had a kidney stone for eight years.

I had a kidney stone the size of a large marble that I got broken up by lithotripsy. I was calcium. I was dehydrated. I was eating a lot of spinach. I urinated so much after I came home from the hospital. I was told, no dark soda, I can have root beer.I try to eat a lemon a day. I’ve had pain in my kidney every once in awhile.I increase my lemon juice intake and more water. Pain subsides. It’s been 28 yrs. since I had one!I drink a lot of tea too!

Straight & simple talk here. I'd get up to 4 very large (oxalate) kidney stones a year. I've had NONE for 7 years now. I use something called 'Stone Breaker' tablets I get from Walmart. Active ingredient is something called Chanca Piedra & there are other brands available. Dosage is recommended 3 tablets a day (about 25 cents each) but I find that one a day works for me. If I feel back pain like from a pending stone I simply go to two tabs a day for a while & never had a problem.

The doctor prescribed me norco for pain from my kidney stone stuck in my ureter (4mm). I researched its not good to take norxo with citrus, especially grapefruit.

However, before I was prescribed norco i was using lemon juice and it seemed to help.

Im going to try lemon juice in the morning first thing before i take the norco.

I found that aleve also works good for the pain

Loved your comment on olive oil as I tried it for a week and did nothing...

I hadn't had a kidney stone in over 25 years. So I got on a high animal protein, high salt & sugar, low-liquid diet for two years and I grew a kidney .stone 11mm. Then the pain began. I handled it like a man lying in bed for a few hours. A few weeks later, the pain returned after some bumpy riding on my lawn mower on a warm day with little fluid intake. I couldn't handle it this time. 911. Six hours in the ER, with a dose of morphine, I went home to ponder my situation. We get a urologist one day a week in my little town and he's booked up two months. So yes, it's the diet. Get a book ready, Doc. If you don't mind, sign it, "To Tim, you fought the stones, and the stones won." Thanks.

I'm from Trinidad and tobago.. And ATM I am going through it with a tiny pin like kidney stone and it literally feels like its destroying my insides.. I've also been bleeding for almost four weeks non stop and I was really worried.. A lot of elderly here say that hot beer (carib) works really well. And most of my friends who has had kidney stones said that it worked for them. I couldn't use that method tho, because of the tablets I was taking I couldn't consume alcohol. What I found out tho and what I'm using now Is a plant named "seed under leaf" and it works really well. It heals a lot of things to do with kidney stones.. Kidney infectons etc.. I cant go into full detail.. But since i started using it I've gradually decreased in bleeding and the kidney stone doesn't feel like its there anymore.. Only thing now is I'm recovering from all the damages the stone has made trying to pass out.. And the plant also helps with all of that.. I honestly can't wait to get over this.. I really felt for a while I was dying or something😂😂

Why is it that when I look for “foods that good for reducing calcium oxalate kidney stones” and “foods to avoid for kidney stones” I see things like kale, avocados and almonds on the same lists?

[Blaze-nujq]

What about cranberry and apple cider vinegar

[centralscrutinizer]

The moonstone drink mix has really worked well for me, it even got rid of my gout .

[allborosnyc]

All i know is when i have a kidney stone that needs to pass its so painful that ill go to a witch doctor and try anything. I had one stone that wouldn't pass and i had surgery to zap it into sand because it was the size of a pea. I also had a catheder for 3 weeks. The other two kidney stones i managed to pass after drinking lots and lots of water.

[MisterTDiSalvo]

I heard raisin and carrot juice works. I know from experience after passing one (most painful thing I’ve ever experienced) that water helped me pass mine. It reduced the pain as well.

[vanjlee]

thsnk you for your lesson Doctor.. God bless you and keep you

[solomonubah]

Please is it true that their are some kidney stones that can not be treated unless through surgery

[karend]

Definitely love adding lemon juice to my water; it tastes good and helps with non-heme iron absorption when consumed with a meal. But drinking 2 ounces of lemon juice on a regular basis probably wouldn't be great for tooth enamel.

The juice of 2 lemons is not that much. I don't know what those people were havin a problem with unless they're babies. Any tim eI get sick I go to the store and buy a bag of lemons and have much more than 2 full lemons per day. I put sucralose or monk fruit in it and have lemonade I usually do at least 6 lemons per day when i'm sick.
