Husband is on three meds for spinal injury…can his medication causes kidney stones…he has been drinking tons of mountain dew and green ice tea and nuts alot too lately..like living off of it…can anything on this list cause kideny stones because he’s got it..and he doesn’t think that soda can cause it?

Anyone advice please..hopefully with experience and not just a link to send me on wild goose chase…Thank you in advance for your answers.

I just wondering why some people can drink soda all they want and not get a single kidney stone and their others who can hardly drink any and get them all the time?

It started in the middle of the night about 5 days ago. I thought it was something I ate, I was up almost all night long…I NEVER thought that sleeping on the bathroom floor could feel so comfortable
Anyway I didn’t have any problems the next day until the evening. Then the same the following evening. Well Sunday was completely different, it was all day long (on and off).

It carried on yesterday so I went to the Dr. They gave me some category B anti spasm pills and said (after having a listen to my tummy) that it was gas. Possibly IBS (which to my knowledge I have never had). They also said that this level of pain was not normal for most pregnancies.

You can imagine how I am feeling about pregnancy right now…if the next nine months are going to be about me writhing in agony on the floor…well lots of bad words!!

But seriously, the pains are killer, I feel like I am in Alien and some ‘thing’ is gong to split my tummy in half. It is comparable to kidney stone pain. The pills are not working and they have ruled out an ectopic pregnancy.

I know there are some of you who have been or are suffering with the same thing, is there anything, food wise, natural, chemical, anything that you can recommend that can help??

I should also add that I am a walker and also into the yoga, eat a non-junk food diet and lots of water (not a soda fan).

Thanks in advance for any help and light you may shed!!
Additionally, I was also told by the DOCTOR when I went on Monday that the gas would in no way harm the baby. Nor would the anti spasm drugs she prescribed me.
Thanks to those so far for the HELPFUL advice!

Many sites say to cut back on animal protein. I’m already vegan, can’t cut back any further than that! I cut my coffee back to less than a cup a day. My dark soda intake is negligible (I might indulge once or twice a month), and I don’t drink very much other soda.
Last time I was able to have a stone tested, it was those damn oxalates.
I can’t take much more of this, I’d rather be stabbed once a month.

Everyday all my 19 yr old female friend eats is plain turkey sandwiches, donuts, soda, and always at LEAST one fast food meal a day(size med) she is on the skinny side as of now, because she only usually eats once or twice a day…but she has been having lots of abdomonal pain, (lower and back) and just had a bladder infection….she is also constipated and may have IBS..and may now have a kidney infection or kidney stones. I try to tell her its from the food she eats but she is just like no its not health probs run in my family blah blah. Any ideas what to do? I know that diet pretty much affects a person’s health. She thinks vegetables and fruit and water are "yucky"
