I know you are saying that a high calcium diet and no water is what caused the kidney stone but most kidney stones are actually caused by high oxalates mostly from plants. Higher calcium in the diet can actually help prevent kidney stone formation. https://www.kidney.org/kidney-topics/calcium-oxalate-stones https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6459305/
I’m trying to pass a kidney stone right now, no fun at all. Thanks for the link!
I’ve heard if you squeeze really hard you can turn it into a diamond.
Seriously though sorry to hear about your pain but this to shall pass.
I’ll try that, Debeers need some competition.
Thanks man, I needed a laugh!
Glad to help
I just started getting pains in the kidney after switching to mostly salads in meals. Where oxalates?

I was told to not eliminate these things in the diet completely since they can be healthy for you. Just be aware they are high in oxalates and dont make them huge staples in your diet. Making sure you get enough calcium when eating them should help stop the kidney stone formation since it helps prevent absorption of the oxalates. Some of the foods high in oxalates have high calcium levels so they aren’t as bad.
I don’t think that stones form so quickly. Maybe it’s time to get some tests?
I have gotten kidney stones frequently since 2006
Cut out tea, nuts, potatoes, chocolate, whole grains, carrots, spinach, and everything else. Keep my sodium around 1500mg/day
I still form them prolifically
I had a 2cm stone back in March that they tried blasting and ended up getting chunks of the stone stuck between the stent and the wall of my ureter. After keeping the stent in for 3 months my urologist gave up and another one picked me up. When he went in to laser the stones, he had to laser chunks that had adhered to the stent before he could get it out
They shockwaved my other side last month and got the newer stent out and had my follow up today and there’s two more little ones on the left side already forming up
Next step is an endocrinologist

Actually yes lol I do DDP Yoga
What’s your oxalate and protein intake like?
Usually less than 100g a day for protein. I stay as far away from oxalates as possible I would be surprised if I have 10mg/day. I know 40mg/day is considered low oxalate.
Unlucky, hope you work it out. Sounds painful af
Odd recommendation from a friend’s doctor after said friend passed a stone: drink a beer a day. He said lemons helped (lemonade, lemons in tea) but the beer was 100% from what the doc had seen. And no, I don’t know why or what kind.
have you tried riding a roller coaster?
