Avatar n tn Your sister can change her eating habits to try to prolong another gall bladder attack by excluding all diary, fatty meats (only meat without skin is okay and no red meat), vegatable oil (olive oil, omega 3s from fish are okay), and highly processed foods. Wishing you and your sister the best. Take care.
541196 tn?1293552936 My compounding pharmacist recommended that I take Cod liver Oil with my Vit D since the best sources for Vit. D next to the sun are in fish and fish oils. With doing this we got my 14 to a 31 without the mega script doses of Vit d.. My kidneys are full of stones and there is a risk of increasing stones with a Vit D level that is too high too!
Avatar f tn 7 Bun 16 Alkaline phosphatase 55 Still no stones Vitamin d results not back yet....but I take 2,000 I u daily, fish oil daily and I am in the sun often without sunscreen for at least 15 min.   So I'm thinking it should be fine. What is this looking like?  I'm concerned about this being the beginning of Kidney disease or failure even though my creatinine and bun are fine.  Oh and I don't drink alcohol and I'm not a recovering alcoholic.
Avatar f tn I haven't passed one during pregnancy but i have had one and got stuck and after I had the baby got it removed. They say it's easier to pass them when you are pregnant because the eariter opens wider so alot of women when they are pregnant have there first stones. Did you have one or are you hyaving one?

82861 tn?1333453911 If there is no infection than your dog has kidney damage or kidney failure, and you will have to treat agressively to save the kidneys by using Sub Q fluid therapy, phosphate binders if the phosphate is also elevated, kidney saving herbs such as Rehmannia 8 and more. Please write back once you have additional test results. Thanks.
643805 tn?1243968843 It depends on the size and composition of the stones, how easy they are to get rid of them, home cures are Lemon and Olive Oil, and drinks loads of mineral water and avoid caffinated drinks.
Avatar m tn Antioxidants reduce the amount of inflammation in your body, which helps the kidneys function properly. The potassium in cauliflower is known to prevent kidney stones. Kidney stones can lead to kidney infections and eventually chronic kidney disease. Eat cauliflower raw with a hummus dip or steam it with a squeeze of lemon. Cauliflower is also delicious smashed with low fat sour cream and fresh parsley.

Other food that can help with mood are freshwater fish, walnuts, macadamia nuts, pumpkin seeds, etc.. If natural supplementation does not help along with other support, you may want to seek an anti-depressant prescription short term from a competent psychiatrist.

Avatar f tn Has anyone had kidney stones during your pregnancy and what did the pain feel like. I went to the hospital earlier and was sent home and told I was just experiencing round lig pain but I'm a bit skeptical of that verdict because it lasted for hours and the pain was so intense. I didn't test positive for a uti either but idk what to think. I dont have bloody urine but i swear i peed out something resembling a small pebble earlier too.
1704625 tn?1310708761 There is really no "diet” for kidney stones. If a person takes very high doses of vitamin C, kidney stones have been known to develop. To help prevent possible kidney stones is to drink the daily-recommended fluid amounts of 8+ glasses (8oz or more) of water so your body is properly hydrated. To eat healthy and help your narcolepsy, suggest your protein sources be meats and fish instead of beans.
Avatar n tn I've had kidney stones twice. First time I had severe pain in one of my kidneys. Second time I didn't know I had kidney stones until I was urinating blood. Then the pain set in. Not fun either time.
Avatar n tn The cramping pain if present in the flanks will point toward kidney stones. The pain can be colicky and may be present even separate from urination. If you have had the initial ultrasound of the uterus done, it would have ruled out possibility of any abnormal implantation. Even if there is no conclusive evidence regarding renal stones or infection, it is very important to keep her hydration levels up. She will need to intake at least 2000 ml of fluid per day.
Avatar n tn has anyone else experienced a kidney infection/ stones during pregnancy ... what did u do for the pain .... all my doc told me was heat but my god is this miserable .. last time I passed a stone they dopped me up on pain meds which is obviously not an option this time ... please help me !! ...
Avatar n tn t do a CT scan so he ordered one and I find out I had two kidney stones a 3x2mm in my left kidney and a 5x3mm in my right kidneys. Non obstructive and still in the kidneys in the lower pole. I was told I was at risk for them getting bigger. I got prescribed hydro's and sent home. 8 days later I was in even worse pain to the point I was in tears and so nauseous I couldn't eat. The pain was now in both flanks.
1035252 tn?1427227833 Do be aware, there are some VERY mixed results from studies of Fish Oil for arrhythmia and heart rate stabilization (and Flax Seed oil is similar in some ways to Fish Oil) -- some studies showed a correlation between higher amounts of Fatty Fish and lower death rate from V-Fib BUT other studies showed a HIGHER rate of death for those patients with arrhythmia and tachycardias taking Fish Oil than the control group who were not taking it. That's one of the problems with these studies...
Avatar f tn So painful i know i had to stay at l and d a couple days for them to manage my pain via iv till i passed the big stone and was discharged with many small ones. Try a shot of lemon juice and olive oil....it basically lubes your kidneys and ureters to help pass. I have dealt with tons of stones even outside pregnancy, but its worse being pregnant bc you cant have surgery to have stents or litho.....
Avatar n tn Just sharing some info that I got from another forum. Lemon juice, olive oil, and chanca piedra are the most common remedies to flush out kidney stones. You can Google them for more information.
Avatar f tn My fiancée has had a lot of problems with kidney stones he has blood in his urine and his back hurts like they are bruised quite often what can we do to help this he has passed 4 stones in the last 8 months and we don't really know what else to do... any advice?
Avatar f tn Simon, I tried a lot of the stuff I saw online. Olive Oil , Lemon Juice (like 20 fricken Lemons) nothing "shrunk" it. Your urologist will tell you if it's "passable" or not and if you have any blockage. What did help me was sleeping on the opposite side of the stone those days I felt the best when I let gravity help . Set a timer for an hour and have 8oz glass of water ready and drink it, if you feel up to it work out. Dont sit around.
Avatar f tn I have many stone patients who protest that their diet is "healthy" and they still get stones, but the reality is that even lean "healthy" proteins like fish and chicken are pure protein and are broken down to uric acid by the body. Uric acid stone form for three reasons, and three reasons alone: 1. Low urine volume 2. Low urine pH (too much acidity in the urine) 3. High urine uric acid.
Avatar n tn Does anyone know what foods help with digestion of Omega 3 from fish oil? Or anything that will balance the too much fish oil taken. I hope tried my best to explain myself, my English is not good.
Avatar m tn I have two kidney stones one in each kidney, 2.3mm and 2.8 mm diagnosed by Ultrasound. The doctor advised me to take plenty of water. 3-4 liters a day.
Avatar m tn I DO take fish oil and Vit. E and I've noticed those are the days I see oil floating on my urine. My liver has some problems, I have one kidney full of cysts. I have my gallbladder. I also have life-long lymphadenopathy. From what I know of kidney physiology, I sure am curious as to how it's getting there!
