wow. it's the week of the kidney stone! bubba i have a kidney stone i'm trying to pass right now (ouch!) and was in the ER all last night, also. so i feel for you. literally. the ER doc says they are more common late spring/early summer due to people getting outside, being active, sweating more, and forgetting to up their amount of liquid intake.

You need to watch if the dog is in pain, having problems urinating, etc. I take it these are bladder stones? They are more common then kidney stones. It is considered a major surgery to remove them and they may become chronic. You definitely have to watch the diet. Ask your Vet for a recommendation on the food. There are dog food companies that do make special diets for animals with stones!

Finally after she was in excruciating pain a x-ray was done and they found 2 kidney stones in right kidney. They had me give her pain meds for 2 days and the dr's figured they passed. Since then had a couple days that she was in a little pain. Then today started having really bad pain again, and more bleeding in urine. We're hoping they pass this time, and we'll be done with this. We don't have a family history of these, and follow up with the dr. next week.

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.

I also have kidney stones, I am looking to learn more about what kind of diet or foods are good and bad for the kidneys. I would like to eat healthier and avoid the foods that are not good for my kidneys. Does anyone know of a website or have information that could help me out. So far all I know is drink a lot of water, and spinach is not good for the kidneys... Thanks everyone!

in the meantime, try to eat healthy, lookup ideal foods that are easily processed by the body (which is usually all natural items), drink lots of cranberry juice.. my family lives by cranberry juice because we have such a bad history of kidney stones, and i really do believe it helps. but eat for optimum health, keep your body active, drink a LOT of fluids.. doing these things should help you get though, and may even improve your symptoms.. you never know..

Magnesium will get rid of kidney stones, and cranberry juice will prevent them.

I have had 2 different kidney stones in the past!! They hurt like hell. But when they start moving, you would be in such excruciating pain that you couldn't even stand up! If you are having blood in your urine, I would talk to the doctor and see if they can do a UA to see if you have a kidney infection!! Cranberry juice will help to prevent bladder infections but not get rid of them.

and how big a impact those words of change your diet would have !! The last couple of days I have been walking around a lil stunned not really knowing what the heck to do. I'm afraid to eat !! instead of wheat bread the say white :( it is 25 mg of Phos. Barley 1/2 cup 40mg piece of salmon 279mg. a apple 15mg. this is just a example It is in everything we eat ! we drink ! I have a list of what is bad and what is better for me..but the better for me is in very small portions..

Last year EWSL was attempted 3X to remove small, stubborn stones in my right kidney. Stones were not blocking the ureter but were causing pain for months. After 3rd attempt at EWSL it was decided to try laser treatment cystoscopically. This was "partially" successful. Some of the stones were removed, some he was not able to reach. I was left with a stint which came out before I made it home from the hospital.

I suggest though that you have a baseline ultrasound scan of your kidney, ureters and bladder as this will show or exclude any underlying structural disorders including a kidney stone. If you had previous bouts of urinary tract infections before, then I suggest that a baseline ultrasound scan may be necessary. Drink plenty of water and observe good genital hygiene. Exercise always and keep a healthy diet. There are some natural ways of preventing onset of UTI.

Just read some studies concluding that aggressive fluid hydration during a kidney stone episode does not necessarily help reduce pain or improve the chances of successful stone passage. Please, advise. Thanks!

try drinking cranberry juice or tepid water with some fresh lemon juice in it to flush away the impurities as well.. I had a kidney stone when I was in labour 13 years ago.. was not an ideal time for it to play up.. anyway I gave birth to my daughter lolly and gave birth to the kidney stone - i did not name it..

A typical day's diet includes egg, onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, squash, cooked carrots, spinach, chicken or fish, lime juice in water, and unsweetened cranberry juice in water. You'd be surprised how many different ways you put those bits and pieces together. Ha. It worked for me, however, and I no longer crave sugar like I once did. I've dropped a good bit of weight (which I needed to do) and feel pretty good except when the Lyme bugs are bugging me.

Over time, obstruction can lead to serious complications, including urinary tract infections, kidney stones and kidney failure. Ectopic kidneys are also associated with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), a condition where urine backs up from the bladder through the ureters into the kidneys. Over time, this can lead to infections that also can destroy the kidney. It is important to discuss this with your urologist to better understand your condition.

Have you been scanned for kidney stones? I am having my kidney stones removed on Friday by lithotripsy. They are extremely painful, cause scarring and reflux and will continue to damage the kidney until removed. You are NOT a freak, nor were you born one. This problem happens to many, many people and please make sure you're persistent with your own care. As far as things helping, I try to avoid meat and spinach which makes it worse and also drink alot of cranberry juice and water.

I have been drinking plenty of water and added cranberry juice into my diet to see whether I could clear this up myself. No luck so far. I appreciate any responses. Thank you.

He had an order of crab cakes, 2 glasses of iced tea, and some cranberry juice. Swampy was scheduled to work that night so he walked home to do that. Upon arriving home, he found a note saying that he didn't need to work. So after a few more minutes, Swampy decided it was time for bed. He lay down to sleep on his back. 1 minute later it felt as if every one if his back muscles were pulled, ultra sore, and bruised. Shifting from side to side did not help.

bubble in urine can b from too much protein in your diet. Kidney stones can be from too much protein in your diet. and Yess, kidney damage can occur. Change your diet, and cut out alot of the protein. NO red meat, milk, cheeses, etc, etc.. eat lots of fruits and veggies, and DRINK water and cranberry juice alot..

One thing I can say, I'm not going to be 100% positive on it, but if your son drank cranberry juice (lots of it) check into the effects of the oxalates(in cranberries) and the calcium(in your urine) building up to possibly form kidney stones, the last question on the linked page will be helpful if that's the case. http://www.uti-cleanse.com/faqs.php If not, the doctors could be just concerning about kidney infection due to the bladder infection which can get very serious.

Drink plenty of fluids, try apple cider and cranberry juice. These tips may help to flush out the stone if it breaks (but less likely). If you do not want to go for surgery, then you can go for lithotripsy which breaks the stone into small pieces which later pass out in urine. Discuss this with your urologist. In future if you do not want a recurrence then you will need to follow some diet restrictions. Depending on the stone you have, you will need to avoid certain food items.

Throughout the day I drink only water and cranberry juice, watch the sugar intake, but the rest of my diet is normal. Shortly before bed I guzzle as much LITE cran juice as I can. I usually start 2 hours or 1.5 hours before I go to bed and guzzle about a cup RIGHT before bed. I usually end up drinking about 32 ounces or so within the 2 hours or 1.5 hours before bed (1 quart, or half a bottle). With a child you will want to use much less juice.

Taking plenty of fluids will help avoid developing further stones and infections. Addind citrus fruits and cranberry juice to your diet can also help treat a mild infection naturally.

Individuals with higher levels of oxalate in urine are predisposed to developing kidney stones made of calcium oxalate. Though no stones may have been seen, their passing could have been the reason for the trauma to your urethra and the subsequent strictures (narrowing that needed dilatation). Blood in urine is again an indication of kidney stones.

It can slightly burn on rare occasion but nothing out of the normal. My drinking diet is not the best in the world, orange soda and fruit juice with no water. I cant think of any other symptoms or any other changes since the pain has started. Nausea, but I have had frequent nausea my entire life. Everything I have read about kidney pain has stated it comes in waves of sharp pain, which is about the exact opposite of what I have been feeling.

I spent the next couple of months having those attacks less frequent with a healthy diet and proper exercise of running. One month ago I had severe pain radiating from my kidneys. I have had kidney stones and cysts in the past so I immediately went to a high water/cranberry juice intake. I took a urine test at the doctor and it showed that there was hematuria. At work my legs started to hurt and go numb. The numbness went away and now I have muscle twinges. I also have constipation.

Natural diuretics can aid in removal of excess fluids from the body and aid in treating of sciatica, kidney stone, lymphatic swelling, PMS, gonorrhea, liver disorders and high blood pressure. Green tea is a natural diuretic food that has been in use for centuries in China. Consumption of cranberry juice can aid in removal of excess fluid retention. Apple cider vinegar exhibits natural diuretic properties and in addition maintains the potassium levels. It can be added to the salad dressing.

I thought I recognized you from the Lupus forum. I guess that would be an interesting subject for a poll. "How many lupus patients have a tendacy to form kidney stones?" I had a stone in the left kidney, but an obstruction in the right ureter...which makes my kidney balloon out. I sometimes has spasms on the right side. I'm not sure if it is my kidney or muscles. It only happens occasionally. Usually when I've gone a while w/o going to the bathroom. Sounds like kidney to me.

sometimes after I go to the bathroom I feel like I need to go pee again. Almost like I cut it short and did not go all the way; although, I did and I was not in a rush going.. my pee is really light yellow and clear, but it also looks like it could be a little cloudy.

I've had this problem since before I started having sex, so I'ts not an STD. Plus i drink lots of cranberry juice and as part of my normal diet so the chances of it being a UTI are slim to none. I just had a Urinalysis done as part of my normal doctor check up, as well as a full blood panel. would any of the potential problems show up in that? Anyone have any ideas?
