I went to the hospital last night because I was having contractions. Well come to find out they were brought on by a UTI. My 3rd one this pregnancy. They also found protein in my urine along with high blood pressure "the start of preeclampsia" and last but not least crystals in my urine "they are calcium" My question is how fast can these crystals turn into a stone? The reason I ask is I have been having this awful pain in my right side around the kidney area, and it hurts to the point that I want to cry.. It is starting to get uncomfortable when I go the the bathroom as well.. The doctor ordered me to do a 24 hour urinalysis, to see what all is really going on, and how bad everything is. I just dont think I can handle this pain for that long of a time. Not with me being pregnant.. Please anybody what can I do to help comfort this pain? "30weeks pregnant"

I’m young and thin, and have a good diet, drink lots of water, but I found out I have multiple kidney stones in both kidneys (and unexplained severe insomnia), do kidney stone flushes really work?

Have you seen results? I will have to use them long term for life.

I will be having shock waves in a few weeks if I can get appt.

In the future, I need herbs to stop formation of them before they turn to stones. So far diet change (I’ve eliminated so many things, I figured this would work), water, …is not working and I need extra help.

Are there any ayurvedic herbs or supplements that can help?

The urologist says I should not be getting them and thinks it is probably 3 different types forming.

I stopped low dose B-vitamins (50% RDA), and the extra B-2 (for migraines, worked great though!), and Phosphadyl serine (PS) supplements last month in case they worsened it? Could PS do that?

I am a student, so money is tight. in herbs a month is not possible.
Kelle- You are acting like I am overdosing or something and taking a bunch of things, and I barely took any, now I take none.

I asked for herbs and flushes to help bc I believe nature has an answer. But I wanted peoples experience who have this problem, not someone who is anti. Obviously I have been following guidelines and advice, and it is not working. I would like something natural in hopes it helps me, and I can avoid more stones and avoid lifelong Rx drugs that have side effects. I had crystals as long ago as 4 yrs ago. Have you ever had a stone?

I have to follow a strict diet and they told me to take a vitamin complex. They are low dose so I didnt get stomach problems and to help my body. I already went off them.

PS was added for memory and concentration bc I have always had problems with that area since I was 3. I am a student and hoped it would help my brain, like fish does. It did not say it could cause stones. But I went off that as well just in case it did.

My 10-year old dog, (un-neutered male rottie-shepherd X) had blood in his urine and I took him to the vet. They said he had crystals in his urine and to give him Novomoxin (4 tabs/day for 10 days). He finished his meds 2 days ago but he still had some blood in his urine! We went back to the vet and urine was tested. Vet said that he may possibly have kidney stones (X-Ray sched. tomorrow) and that he should get neutered as well.
Vet said the UTI was caused from lack of proper nutrition in dog food. I have been feeding him Natural Balance Potato & Duck (wet mixed with dry) for OVER 1 YEAR so my questions are:
1: Is the above food is not nutritious enough for him/low quality to cause the UTI (or any other health problems)?
2: Why is this happening now??
3: What exactly should a dog be eating for optimal health? Vet recommended Royal Canin, Eukanuba, Science Diet & ProPlan but I think there are too many by-products/additives and I want my dog to eat the healthiest food.
Please help!

Our cat’s been moping around for a couple of days now. He made the weirdest howl/meow noise and peed on the carpet yesterday. I took him to the Vet today and they kept him to check for possible crystals in his urine. I never knew they got this… Anyone else had this happen?
