I am actually get the ones on my left kidney removed this week. But I want to know like some foods or drinks I can avoid like that I don’t run in to the same thing again after surgery.
And could someone who drinks almost a gallon of water a day, occasionally a glass of skim milk, and never drinks soda get kidney stones? How can I know if that is what the lower back pain is from?
My dog’s vet is currently out of town and about a month ago he had bladder stone surgery. They changed his diet completely and now he is on specific food to keep his pH levels in his urine normal to prevent the stones from coming back. All of the sudden he starts urinating clear. He stopped eating store-bought treats and drinks a lot of water and eats peas for a treat. I talked to a different vet who I am not familiar with and she took his urine yesterday and said his urine is extrememly diluted which is bad. Then she kept going on and on that he could have kidney failure, a tumor, or some kind of hormone disease!!! I was like hold on a minute here!!! He just had a full blood work up done a month ago and all of his organs are working fine and he’s totally healthy besides the stones that were removed. I think she hasn’t had too much experience it seemed. So after looked in his chart and noticed this, she had a change of heart on all the tests she wanted to perform. I told her, listen, I am not a vet whatsoever, but don’t you think it’s kind of a coinsidence that my dog starts urinating clear after being on this new diet? I feel like he is not getting the other nutrients he needs. My dog used to eat meat everyday (Beneful Ready Meals) and now hes like on a canned diet and only drinks water and eats peas! So she looked at me and said I’m going to have to call an internist and see if this is normal from the food. Then she sent me home! How do you tell someone their dog could be diseased and then send them home!?! She was supposed to call me today and never did! So now I’m worried and concerned because I don’t know what to think or believe and my vet doesn’t get back until next week. I searched this clear urine problem online and I get mixed answers. I read it’s good because his body is flushed out and then I read it’s a sign of kidney problems because the kidneys are not flushing the urine out properly. So now what? I can’t sleep and this is my only hope to find an answer. My Aunt’s dog recently died from kidney failure and it was so tramatizing to me, so ….PLEASE HELP!
My son is on his 3rd kidney stone. He has meds that are support to work but the doctors dont know why he is getting those. I was just wondering if anyone knew or wanted to guess. He is one a special diet and he drinks a lot of water. But sometimes he has pain any way. We usually give him meds and a hot pad on his back and he chugs a lot of water, and that usually works but sometimes not. He also has a lot of gas to burping and farting a lot and when he gets home from school he is so so tierd. Maybe it is the tests there doing and the stress. why is this? PLEASE! this is important
no, he hates gatorade or sports drink. He does not drink anything but water and milk.
My mother drank 3-4 Diet Cokes a day and her doctor told her to stop because they cause kidney stones. A friend who recently had stones and drinks several diet sodas a day said his doctor told him that diet sodas do not cause kidney stones. Who is right?
