Kidney Stones

[Bert_n_ernie 60]

Ok, I'm in the process of passing a kidney stone. Any recommendations or advice on how I can avoid them in the future. This is the 2nd one I've passed in my life. The first one was a week after I gave birth to my twins so it was no surprise when I learned I had one. This one though, I have no clue what caused it. I've never been diabetic or had other kidney problems. I'm staying well hydrated.

Talk to your Dr. I have a friend that get stones all the time. She has to stay away from certain foods spinach, blueberries... And others something about the acid in them....

I passed 4 within 6 months before surgery and my urologist says it was most likely because of my Calcium intake. I eat a lot of cheese and use to drink 2 cups of skim milk per day, also I ate lots of yogurt.

I work for a urologist are they Calcium or uric acid.stones. That makes a big difference on how to test them most stone are cause by dehydration. If you stones show up on a xray called a kub then they are calcium based. You can also look up low oxalate diet. food to stay away from.

Oh, some stones are found on CT scan they will be uric acid. And stones they should have sent the some off to pathology

They were Calcium related. Both times I've passed them I have been on a calcium supplement. I also eat a lot of cheese & yogurt. I had to back off on the calcium.
