Spot on Barb.I fired one out some time ago, it was not the kohinor but I was impressed.I took it to the consultant who had it tested.I then had to start 6 month of dietary experiments with Dr Cruella Deville. I was not allowed to eat loads of fruit and veg that I love like spinach,tomatoes green peppers, leeks ect ect ect.I had to increase my fluid intake to 3 litres a day and once a month pee into a container for 24 hrs and then take it to pathology.I'm sorry you are going through this Charlie.
My doctor told me to drink weak lemonade every day for mine. He said it acts like Slick-50 and helps keep stones from forming.
The thing is, lemonade/lemon juice work IF you have a certain type of kidney stone (the most common type, I believe), but if yours are caused by something else, lemonade may not work. There are a few different causes of kidney stones--what helps one kind may cause another kind.
The diet and drugs stopped them growing. The laser is next
The reason I am having them zapped is because my travel insurance will not cover them as they are an existing problem and the NHS provides a wonderful service for free.
