What kind are they? Uric acid, calcium oxalate, etc?
Calcium oxalate
Ease up on meat and salty foods. Drop a little weight if you're husky. Drink plenty of water and don't overdo the beer but keep drinking it.
Honestly, going through that I would have considered being transgender and lobbing it off. My mother in law had kidney stones and was writhing around in the worst pain she's ever had. She's had six children.
Ureter not urethra, although a stone can block that too.
Ureter connects kidney to bladder. Urethra is the tube from the bladder to freedom.
Thats the weird thing. I drink lots of water, am not overweight at all, eat very little meat/salty food. Overall I am a very healthy person. I eat lots of fruits and vegetables, no soda. My sister has a good friend whose mother got kidney stones for 10+ years. She started drinking 1 Belgian wheat beer every night and hasn't had a stone in years. So far thats the only thing thats worked for me. Like I said, its almost been a year since my last stone so hopefully the beer will work.
Quit being all George Clooney ER with me with your brains and your knowledge.
You know I’m not particularly bright.
Good to know.
If they diagnosed them as oxalates then you still need to be careful with what fruits and veggies you're eating. If you eat a lot of nuts that can be bad.
There's so many things that can cause a slight imbalance in your system and throw things off.
But staying hydrated is your best defense in general. We're actually entering into stone season now because towards the end of summer people tend to be more dehydrated for a prolonged amount of time and that gives the stones a chance to form.
I also live in the "stone belt" where people have a really high occurrence of stone formation.
So my best advice is to monitor what you're eating and keep the beer and water flowing.
Thanks for the advice man. That makes sense because I got my first stone in August. Where is the "stone belt" exactly? I've never heard of that before.

Dammit.
Okay I have to fess up I guess.
About 90% of all medical problems can be solved by just getting drunk on some beer. That's the secret and I'm not sure which doctor let you into the circle of trust, but now you guys know.
Drinking beer for kidney stones has been common knowledge for a long time.
The Southeast states. Basically starting at Virginia and down to Louisiana and Florida.
If you drink enough beer you'll piss everything out.
To be fair though, a friend of mine generally tells his patients that they either need to have more sex or less sex depending on their symptoms.

I would agree that, depending on the symptoms, one should indeed have more or less sex.

Go buy beer? You're really twisting my arm with that one. I'll surely give it a try. Although i laugh at one of my friends for drinking blue moon with a splash of oj. I always ask the bartender if they have a little umbrella thing (parasol?) to put in it.
When I worked in Yuma they had this piss color chart on. The wall in front of every urinal. I've had so many seek medical aid pisses it's unreal. Chart it full of shit.
V8 juice makes my piss go strange too
