kidney stones symptoms cranberry juice

Do not drink cranberry juice because it contains oxalate which can cause kidney stones...cranberry juice is okay for uti but not kidney stones..lemon juice is very good for breaking up stone for smaller passage. I just finished up a bought with kidney stone 7mm and uti.

Probably have a UTI. It may not be painful at this point, but could get worse if you don't get some antibiotics. Drink lots of water, and cranberry juice until you can see your doctor. Real cranberry juice that tastes gross from the health food section, not ocean spray.

you mean drink it all the time?? Even when I don't have symptoms?? I am afraid that I will keep getting them through out my pregnancy.

I would see your doc asap it sounds like a uti / kidney infection. Cranberry juice is good at helping to prevent a uti but won't help if you already have one. I had the same thing in my first pregnancy and doc said I was hours away from be admitted and induced at 30 weeks because I ignored it thinking it would go away. Had no idea it was a uti that had spread to my kidneys!! Thankfully the antibiotics fixed me!!

Rhe pain was worse then labor I swear. Have any of you ladies had kidney stones during this pregnancy? Im due nov 28th and im already dealing with all the pain that comes along with pregnancy and I cant go through that again.

I've been told not to take cranberry juice or capsules since I make calcium oxalate stones .. the cranberries are high in oxalates ... my Uro explained the cranberry juice creates a barrier along the mucous membranes so that's why it helps prevent infection, etc.

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. The acid in Blueberries will help to alleviate symptoms of a bladder infections, but neither will help a kidney stone! I would definately talk to the doctor again to let him know of the blood in your urine!

It seems pretty extreme that they just removed your gallbladder so quickly. Was your gallbladder developing stones? They could have removed the stones with an ERCP. I would suggest drinking water, cranberry supplement tabs and a mixture of Natural 100% cranberry juice(NOT "cranberry cocktail" which has added sugar) with some pineapple juice. The above mixture of juices always relieves pressure pain in my kidneys.

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 !! ...

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..

I found out monday I have kidney stones for the 2nd time this pregnancy... :( I am going in friday for my csection and just hoping the pain eases up for me or that I just pass the dang stone... I dont want to be dealing with that after the birth. It just seems like bad timing, not that there is a good time for these things... Tmi but my urine looks like cranberry juice, kinda scary but I know its from the stone. I have been drinking tons of water.

I drink lots of water all day about 8-10 glasses I don't drink anything else except for the occasional milk or veggie juice. So we will see what happens.

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.

ok, thank you!

Went through having my appendix removed after a month of being in hospital even tjough they were adaamant it wasnt that (good job as it was close to bursting) then for the following year put this excruciating pain down to cyists on my ovaries then they found lut after having constant unrine infections that I had a cm and half kidney stone.

You can try drinking lots and lots of cranberry juice (I actually cured my UTI with cranberry juice) and water for a couple of days and see if it gets better. I am talking about two or three liters a day for a couple of days. If it doesn't work you will need to get tested.

Yhe best thing u can do at this point is to drink tons of water. Also, ive found that drinking pure cranberry juice(not cocktail,only 100% cranberry) helps a lot and sometimes eliminates symptoms all together. Good luck.

So I'm almost 18 weeks and I found out I have kidney stones :/ is any one else going through this?

Hello everyone, I am currently sitting in a hospital on day 2 suffering from kidney stones. The stone passed yesterday thank god!(worst pain I have ever had in my life) this is my 3child and first time experiencing this. My question Is has anyone else ever gone through this and had perfectly healthy babes, I completely trust my Drs and the hospital but I can't help but to worrie about my baby.

The doctor diagnosed me with a UTI last week. I'm on my last day of antibiotics, and they didn't clear up my symptoms. I have a history of kidney stones, and I'm afraid that's what is going on again. Anybody have any experiences with kidney stones during pregnancy? What did you do for them?

it could have turned to a kidney infection or even kidney stones which is what i have right now.. o would give them a call they may wantyou to get checked out.

I had a uti that turned into a kidney infection with kidney stones :( no fun but I'm also prone to kidney stones. Did your dr give you any antibiotic??

Whoops that's what I meant uti!! Thanks for all the info ladies. I'm not a big juice drinker or yogurt eater but this pregnancy I actually have had alot of both! Never had a uti or yeast infection or anythibg.

You can drink cranberry juice but it has to be pure otherwise the sugars in the juice will just make it worse. Lots and lots of water to help flush it out is fine and I found the easiest was to get cranberry extract pills instead of the juice because pure juice is kinda nasty!!

Sounds like you still have the infection. Supplement your medication with cranberry juice drinks ('Lite', not heavily sugared) - several glasses a day - for a month. Really helps clear URTs.

Jeeze we are like the same with stones ha I had kidney stones with my son then after I had him I would get gall stone attacks and kidney stones again this pregnancy..crazy!

m 37+4 and I have kidney stones again.. First time I was 28weeks... The first time I had a kidney infection with it and it was throwing me into preterm labour, they kept me over night giving me antibiotics and iv fluids... I had over 8bags.. And I had pain meds! Then I was sent home with my antibiotics and pain meds.. This time I was given muscle relaxers, and two bags of fluids.
