How I got rid of my kidney stones. (Please note that I had Calcium-Oxalate Kidney Stones, and I prayed and drank lemon juice to remove them. 75-80% of all kidney stone cases are Calcium-Oxalate stones – the kind you have may vary. Examine your dietary habits, and examine a stone (if your body can release one), and check the internet to see what kind of kidney stones you might have.)

Many people say to drink while having (oxalate) kidney stones. But, should one drink WHILE attacked by a kidney stone? Some say no, because the (pressure and) pain would get even worse(!). Some say yes, to pass the stone. But if that increases the pain, that’s NOT an option (as would anyone say who knows how much pain a kidney stone can give) at all.
(No, i didn’t mean alcohol. Water.)

they both got citrus or citric acide, right? And I hear that orange juice has a lot of oxalate while lemonade doesn’t but correct me if I’m wrong. Doesn’t oxalate help form kidney stones? I’ve tried googling this but I’m just still confused.

My chemistry teacher told me years ago that due to the oxalate in spinach, you can get kidney stones from eating too much. I can imagine that you’d have to eat a lot of spinach for this to even happen. Am I wrong?

I have a male Syrian cream colored hamster. Recently, he’s been acting lethargic and is having problems peeing. He squeaks when he pees, and sometimes there is blood.
I can’t afford to take him to the vet again, however i am giving him antibiotics from a previous visit when he got neutered. We use to give him lots of fresh veg like spinach, carrots and broccoli as well as fresh fruit along with his dry pellet and seed mix. however, in his condition, i’ve removed all fresh food since i don’t know what kind of diet to give a hamster with kidney stones.
How should i proceed with his diet? and what else can i do to help his situation?
ok, the reason i stopped giving him spinach for sure is that i read that it increases oxalate levels which contributes to kidney stones. And i’ve read that high amounts of calcium is not good either.
Right now, i’m just sticking to apples and carrots…

i mean, i’m sticking to apples and carrots in terms of fresh food along with his daily pellets.

But yeah, i have definitely cut out the seed mix since it is high in fat and protein.

And for the person who said "should have known what i was getting into…"

well my hamster is 2 1/2years old. I think i know what i’m getting into if i took my hamster to the vet. Most of them would say "oh..2 years is a good age!"….good age for what? to die?! so i am doing my best for him seeing as he’s really old. I’m trying to keep him hydrated by offering water in a syringe every few hours, and he has a few nibbles of critical care mix when i tend to him.
