I brought my kids friend to the hospital with that about a year ago. I thought he was going to die in my car.

cranberry juice is bad for kidney stones - its good for urinary track infections. Up your water intake, which they say is the most important thing.

Thats sucks BIG TIME.

I had the same in the spring. I was driving home from work and it hit like a freight train. I nearly did'nt make it to the driveway. Went to the ER and they took me right in, I guess my screaming in the waiting room was upsetting the other people !!!!! I didn't have a clue what it was. I thought I was going to friggin die it hurt so bad. Then it sucked when i realized I wasn't going to die and had to live with the pain. The IV pain meds were great, then home with Percocets helped, but my whole life came to a halt until it was over.

Lasted for about 2 weeks, I even had to have a "procedure" to remove it, but I think it had passed by then. He did it anyway to make sure there weren't more in there. OUCH !!!!!

Once it passed within a day I felt great. I was completely back to normal.
It was like a light switch going on and off.

Get well soon buddy.....

Doc (Urologist) told me there was no reason for it happening and no way to prevent it from happening again.
No dietary changes no nuthin. I don't know. I don't care as long as I NEVER get one again.

when i spoke to the attending doc at the hospital about PH and how
calcium goes into a precipitate in an akaline medium she really had no concept of the whole idea which i found to be startling. and then i said in an sightly acid medium the one thats best for the body a precipitate (read calcium stone) will go back into a solution....she was equally clueless.

i am now temporarilly a fruitarian and feeling much better fast....
even though i have a long road ahead of me.... for sure.

i have been drinking carrot juice instead and distilled 100% aloe vera liquid

the Raven is on the hunt...the game is afoot Watson

Orange juice, researchers found, boosted the levels of citrate in the urine and reduced the crystallization of uric acid and calcium oxalate — the most frequently found ingredient in kidney stones.

But lemonade did not increase the levels of citrate, an important acid neutralizer and inhibitor of kidney stone formation.

"One reason might be the different constituents of various beverages," Dr. Odvina said.

For instance, the citrate in orange and grapefruit juice is accompanied by a potassium ion while the citrate in lemonade and cranberry juice is accompanied by a hydrogen ion. Ions of hydrogen, but not potassium, counteract the beneficial effects of the high citrate content.

more info:

Your chance of developing another stone is greatly reduced if you:

• drink plenty of fluid - at least two litres daily (water is readily available, no prescription needed, very cheap)
• take care not to eat too much calcium. You should eat no more than 300 (big cup)ml of milk + 50 g of cheese + either an ice cream or ½ cup of yogurt every day
• watch your oxalate intake. You should eat no more than one serving of rhubarb + six slices of beetroot + two servings of either silverbeet, spinach or puha every day
• avoid excessive salt intake as it increases urine calcium excretion
• eat meat in moderation. Meat is the most important cause of increased calcium and uric acid excretion. Excessive intake (very common amongst men) should be avoided
• dietary assessment and modification must be done by a dietician. People must understand the reasons for the dietary advice and be encouraged to make a life long commitment
• drugs may be advised for specific conditions.
