  • Terrific. I will pass this on to my brother and sister who both have a propensity for this ailment.

    Thank you for your wonderful work!

  • Really helpful video!!! Thank you!!!

  • My husband just had his first sick day and that was a Kidney Stone. I have warned him about all the red meat he eats but he did not want to listen. We will get it tested but I am desperate to find something that he can eat. This was helpful but still do not know what kind of stone. I am not sure sweet potatoes are recommended. What can I make for him to eat?. I'll keep trying to find what is recommended to eat!

  • i asked the teacher if could use the restroom. As soon as she said yes i sprinted down the hall in the stall I sat on the toilet for 30 minutes but nothing came out. Finally i felt something coming out, then i heard a loud bing in the toilet ow that hurt! i screamed 5 other girls were in there and heard me i ran out of the restroom to the closest room of course it had to be the kindergarden room everyone was staring at me i looked at myself and noticed my pants and underwear were down to my feet

  • The ONLY (I stress the word ONLY) thing I like about having kidney stone is getting a hefty dose of morphine at the hospital. At that moment the pain is gone and you are feeling good because you are doped up. Otherwise it is MUCH worse pain than breaking a finger. No matter how still you are, you are in major, major, major, major, major, major, MAJOR, MAJOR, MAJOR, MAJOR, MAJOR PAIN! I throw up too, etc. First time I was having one, didn't know what it was, thought I was literally going to die!

  • I would recommend drinking vegetable juice , "VITAPLUS" to get rid of kidney stone...

    PM me for more info...
