Kidney stones

I spent Thursday night in the emergency room because I had been suffering with side and back pain for a couple days. It got worse. Come to find out, I have a kidney stone. I have been doing research on where they come from (besides the kidney) and it appears they are made from salt and minerals. Hmmmmmm, do you think my kidney stone is secondary to all the sodium in the nutrisystem foods? Im not sure if a stone could form that quickly but I am curious. Does anyone know anything about Kidney stones? I hope thats not the case because I was planning to stay on the diet as long as I can afford it. After it passes, I would like to avoid anything that could make my body form another one.

 

BTW, Im down 13.8 pounds. Come on 14!! If I could just pass that stone...maybe Id hit 14:) Sorry, I had to make light of a painful situation. Im actually scared to death because of horror stories Ive heard. Any feedback would be great.

The doctor told me to drink 4 beers and call him in the morning. He said that will make them pass. Can you believe that?

Here is the site my uncle used for his remedy: http://infinity.usanethosting.com/Kidney/index.htm

I can't reiterate enough that NS is not causing the stones. Kidney stones are a build up of calcium, and they take ages to develop. You haven't been on NS long enough.

What kind of cola? If you find it, let me know. Im going to the doc's tomorrow:( I hope what he decides to do wont be too painful. I guess we wont know what the malfunction is until they can analyze the stone. I hope its not the nutrisystem food. Id totally be bummed.

Kidney stones take a long time to form and are usually related to not consuming enough fluid. There is some home remedy for them that entails drinking a bunch of cola. My uncle tried it and it worked...can't find it online right now though.

Good luck!

passing them sucks. it is as painful as labor pains. the good thing that comes out of the pain of the kidney stones passing is that you don't have pay for them to go to college. its the ones that are irregular in shape and have sharp edges that a the painful ones. (i'm talking about the stones, not the kid)I had 2 lithotripsys to remove them and then they went in and pulled the largest ones out with a cage (don't remember what the procedure is called)Kidney stones don't just appear, it has been forming for a while. I had back aches and side pain for many years, I just took it as being out of shape. now i know better to always listen to your body.

Thanks....Ive only been on Nutrisystems for 5 weeks. I wonder if a stone can form that quickly? Im not a big milk, tea, or salt drinker/eater so I cant imagine what it was caused by. I hear the pain in your side and during the process is worse than the pain of passing them....is that true?
