I've got my fingers crossed on the kidney stone front. Much coffee goes through me, but my calcium intake is normal. People really overdo milk consumption thanks to constant begging from dairy companies. Silly commercials. Cow milk is for cows, so I get most of my calcium through almond milk, green leafy 'vegetables' and the occasional once-a-day chewable from trader joe's. *fingers crossed*
I don't really even drink any milk, only w/ a bowl of cereal every now and then. I usually get my calcium by buying that orange juice w/ calcium.
Twice.Both times the most painful experience of my life.Worse than a broken collarbone.Drink lots of water to help prevent another one.
The first one they shot me full of morphine and I passed the stone so hard it sounded like I shot the metal urinal with a bb gun!

In the last 5 years I have had 7 stones.... calcium build up may actually be from you body and not just what you intake.. and its important that you find this information out. They think that I have an overactive thyroid gland which is not really a good thing or its genetic and they say that is whats causing my kidney stones, as well as what I was eating/drinking (which was a lot of tea, soda and meat/fish/seafood).... and mine are calcium stones (a few stones are caused by other things). I actually have a wall of calcium on my kidneys -_-. I was told that it most nuts esp. peanuts are bad, coffee is bad, tea, choclate, anything caffinated pretty much esp. soda and the list goes on you'd be suprised at what is on the list..its the strangest mix of foods. Anywho I was told that having a beer now and then as well as freshly squeezed lemons or oranges or citric acid in general (as in buy it in the fruit isle as a fruit and juice it yourself) and A LOTtttt of water and cranberry juice is good for stones and helps keep them small or break them down and flush them out. They do hurt like a mofo.... the first one I ever had I didnt know what it was and I was at work... my back hurt really bad so I was sent home. I was walking to the front of the store and I fell down and couldnt walk I just held my back and cried I was in so much pain. They called an ambulance cuse they didnt know what was wrong with me... it was embarassing.
There is a huge list of foods that cause them You can probably find it online or get it from your doctor. Look it over really carefully. You are likely consuming too much of something without realizing it. I was eating a lot of pepper when I had mine. I gave it up and have not had a stone in 12 years.
Good luck.
Good luck.
dude i passed a monster last year, all with out any real pain meds, it sucked pretty bad. best part about it was it started to come out the uretur at night, like midnight time frame, last pee of the night, so i just cut it short an held it till morning when you got all that pressure built up....... an it may have been the roughest 30 seconds of my life, but i would rather an intense 30 seconds than 30 or 40 minutes right...!!!!!
