Dealing with Kidney Stones: What Should I Do?

they gave me a giant list of what not to drink or eat, my downfall was lots of energy drinks that triggered it...but then turned out it runs in family beside that lol Kidney stones are mainly made up of calcium deposits your system can't break down, so it collects it in your "filter/kidney".

Funny fact, milk is actually helpful to prevent the more typical type of kidney stones. You would think calcium would be bad but no.

What did your doctor say? This is one where you might just want to be referred to a specialist. There are 4 different types (composition) of kidney stones. Different compisitions. Different sizes, different other issues you may have, all impact treatment choices. I just had mine in Sept. I read a lot. Talked to my dental hygienist as she just had too, plus still has 2 more in her kidneys. From what i read and from what she said, theres not much chance of dissolving the current ones. Acidic drinks like cranberry juice does help keep a more acidic urine and that helps reduce formation of most types of stones.

Be prepared for them to come out. As soon as you feel the pain in that kidney (on you lower back side on the right), cranberry juice and water, will help them get flushed out faster. It will feel like a razor burn through your pee hole lol And stop drinking evergy drinks.

Magnesium supplement helps get rid of them. Whenever I start to feel that pain I take one and it's always gone in less than an hour.
