Avatar m tn IMHO be careful with taking any added Vit C without your doctor's ok. Too much Vit C can cause kidney stones .. I'd be leary.
Avatar n tn I have kidney stones. I was told that the kidney stones are a result of a high para thyoid level . and a low Vitamin D level. Has anyone ever gone through this ? It's all brand new information to me -- and I don't know what to think.
Avatar m tn Even though studies have “dispelled the myth” that higher amounts of vitamin C promote calcium oxalate kidney stone formation. So if you take three or more grams of vitamin C each day, have your doctor measure your urniary oxalate.
Avatar n tn A bit part of this is limiting Vitamin C. It plays a role in these stones forming, so limiting it is important. If you are taking a supplement, do not take more than 500 mg of Vitamin C daily. Drink plenty of fluid, most of it water. But add in lemonade regularly as this is linked to less oxalate kidney stone formation. Do not over do protein and eat too much. Reduce sodium. https://my.clevelandclinic.
Avatar f tn When covid started, there were recommendations of taking vitamin C. I did, causing regular stone passing and my existing large stone grew. I then stopped vitamin C and start lemon juice treatment. I have not passed stones for long time. Originally I thought the stones I regularly passed are fragments shed from the large stone. I was wrong. They are the newly produced stones. If somebody passes stones regularly, it means the body is produce stones regularly.

Avatar f tn Have they done a CT Scan to rule out any type of kidney stone problem .. Some stones don't show up on xray, ultrasound but all stones can be detected (big and small) via CT Scan. Just another thought.
895634 tn?1283989210 As hrsepwrguy says there is no connection between kidney stones and hepatitis C. Having hepatitis C does not give anyone a free pass regarding other medical diseases and conditions. Kidney stone often is hereditary so you should ask if any relatives also had kidney stones. Taking pain killers for the pain is not the proper treatment for kidney stones. Taking a pain killer to avoid the pain is not good medicine. It is masking the underlying condition which can be a serious one.
Avatar f tn That's too bad. Can you be more specific for what you have tried so far? Are you working with a doctor? This article has ways to combat kidney stones. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/kidney-stones/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20355759 A 9mm kidney stone is big and those often don't pass on their own. This article gives some ways to remove it from having it surgically removed to using sound waves to break it up to using a scope to remove it, etc.
Avatar f tn Hi and WELCOME to our Kidney Stone Community. I'm not a doctor, but do have too much experience with kidney stones. For me, I'd get pings and pangs in my kidney as well as microhematuria (blood you cannot see by eye) in my urine when I have stones. I've also had the flank pain you describe .. for me it's been in the lower back. I hope with lots of water your stones move out for you uneveventfully. Please keep in touch. From what I've read stones <5.
Avatar n tn I know that your body probably needs quite a bit over the normal RDA while under stress and healing. Not sure how much more though. I know that an 'overdose' of vit c can cause tummy problems and sometimes kidney stones which I can tell you from personal experience are NO FUN!!
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 f tn I have suffered with c/o kidney stones off and on for as long as I can remember. For about the last three years I have week long spells of extreme fatigue, lethargy, pain up and down my whole right side of my body, dizziness (feel like I am going to pass out), nausea, horrible lower back and sciatic pain, weakness, and painful gas and bloating. I can go from feeling really good to bed ridden within 24 hrs. Until recently I thought the spells may have something to do with the stones.
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 m tn Has anyone here with kidney stones tried vitamin B6 and magnesium to prevent new stones from forming? I read a study that concluded that taking 50 mg of B6 daily with 300 mg of magnesium oxide (one of the least absorbable forms of magnesium) will prevent future kidney stones. I also read that potassium and B6 does the same. Perhaps the magnesium works because potassium is better absorbed if there is sufficient magnesium.
541196 tn?1293552936 Is it possible to have my problem with Vitamin D be not completely caused by my thryroid? Maybe malabsorbtion or kidney problems? I have had two tests show I have protien in urine. I have flank pain periodically. I have high blood pressure, diabetes, high triglycerides and low HDL, and swelling of ankles and hands. I often have stomach aches with multiple loose stools a day...
Avatar f tn thus, do not take supplements of vitamin d nor eat alot of food containing vitamin d such as cheese, milk, eggs etc. nor excess sunbathing since sunshine produces vitamin d in your body. You&#39;re better off living with a vitamin d defeciency than taking supplements advised by your doctor. Also, do not take calcium carbonate mineral pills since it could contribute to kidney stones because kidney stones are actually pellets of calcium carbonate !!
Avatar m tn After being diagnosed with a kidney stones of 3mm more than a week ago, I still haven't passed it but I passed 7 other stones a little bit smaller. I keep them all. My right side of back, my abdomen and grion hurt still even with the pain meds prescribed to me. Why is it taking so long to pass?
Avatar f tn I feel for you dear! I before pregnancy is prone to kidney stones...which puts me s high risk! I know kidney stones are painful enough but to add pregnancy on top of it...its so much worse! I do hope the best for you and a fast recovery!
