re: Kidney Stones Suck

Passing them/treating them suck
The goal is prevention:
Ramp up water intake (start the day and finish the day with a large glass of water)
Ditch sodas of all forms (huge sodium load and diuretic effect is not good for stones). Limited processed/fast foods (also decreasing overall sodium load)
General health /weight/BMI /abdominal adiposity tends to track well with kidney stone risk (in general). Stay healthy/lean.
Cut up 1 lemon and /or lime into small pieces on the weekend. Your goal should be to use all of the pieces during the week (cooking, mixed into water)
Other recs/testing would be based off of the type of stone you have (in general: eat clean, gently cook spinach /greens to decrease the oxolate load, avoid oxalate rich foods in excess)
Make sure Vit D status is known (most are deficient). Vit K 2 supplementation (can also be found in grass fed butter/cheese) may be of emerging benefit to complement Vit D,A. Check out the work on the web of Chris Masterjohn PhD for details.
Below is a book devoted to Vit K2 (very interesting read)

Had my first (and hopefully only) February 2014. Started as nagging lower right back pain one morning at work. Got so intense during the day that I couldn't sit at my desk any longer. I had to stand, and eventually I had to leave. Went home and napped. Not sure how I finally fell asleep. Woke up to the same nagging pain but it wasn't as bad.
A few hours later it hit me like a ton of bricks. My wife had been begging to take me to the ER but I kept saying no, but this time I went straight to the car. Of course the ER was crowded as hell and I was in such pain I couldn't sit still. I finally ended up just skipping line and going through the door to the back area and telling them I had to see someone now. They put me in a room but still didn't send in a doctor for another hour.
I found out later that the doctors were trying to save a mans life. Finally they got to me (after I had vomited from the pain) and gave me some pain medication that immediately relieved the pain. Went for a ct scan and they found the stone.
Vomited again at the CVS waiting for my prescriptions. I didn't even care, I was so high on the meds. Passed the stone the next morning. I didn't even feel it pass, just found it in the funnel they give you.

the amazing thing to me is that we focus so much on the *INFINITESIMALLY* small risk of cancer from artificial sweetners while ignoring the fact that MILLIONS of people will likely suffer from a very VERY painful build up of calcium in their kidneys over a lifetime of drinking carbonated beverages from the phosphates/oxalates contained in them.
not to be a conspiracy theorist, but seems like common sense would prevail here and we'd have better warning labels on sodas.
WARNING - CONTINUED USAGE MAY LEAD TO HELL-INSPIRED PAIN LATER IN LIFE
quote:
Carbonated beverage consumption has been linked with diabetes, hypertension, and kidney stones, all risk factors for chronic kidney disease. Cola beverages, in particular, contain phosphoric acid and have been associated with urinary changes that promote kidney stones.
Thats from the NIH
