There are a number of things that cause kidney stones. Sometimes your genetic make up may just produce them. Phosphuric acids help create them, i.e. soda. Its mostly diet and not drinking enough water. Sometimes intake of calcium can cause it as well.\n\nDrink lots and lots of water. Water is the best thing.\n\nKidney stone pain is the worst. Believe me, I've had 3 of them. One had to be surgically removed, one I had blasted in a sonic tub, and I passed the third one right before going onstage at a gig. I highly suggest, drinking lots and lots of water if you're prone to kidney stones. The pain sucks.

Come on... if you have "slight kidney" dysfunction its not the renal diet you need its the sugar control after 21 years you know that.\n\nI have been a diabetic all my 47 years I just started on dialysis 5 months ago. It is the last stop for me that is why its called END Stage renal failure. DON'T even or every go there!!! its not fun its not helpful! its just what it is... a way to stay alive!\n\nAfter 21 years and you don't know what a 1200 diet is you need some super serious help. I am not trying to me mean but from where Im sitting you are the very blessed one. \nYour toxins are still cleanable by drinking plendy of water, distilled if you really want the best \nUs on the renal diet can't drink more than 3 cups of ANY liquid in a 24 hour time. thats even the part of the jello, puddings, and we even have to count the " teaspoons of salt soup" they give if the blood pressure goes to low during dualysis! even the water I use with my pills! \n A renal diet is not really a diet its a big book of forbidden foods, never a baked potatoe again, never a fresh veggie or fruit again. Im allowed 1/8 canned peaches but I have to count them into my liquid too!! NO black drinks such as diet coke, strong tea, oh... and coffee\nHope you get the picture..... Stick with the care of your blood sugars, be happy and thank your blessing every day when you enjoy your fresh water.

Like the doctors told me, caffein is very bad for the kidneys. Contrary to what the other writers have said, I've always been told there is less caffein in tea, so I don't know what to tell you. There is decaf tea as well as coffee, which do you prefer? They taste the same as regular. Watch your soda intake, loads of caffein... especially MountainDew!

I found a diet of no alcohol, sugar and carbohydrates will lower the PH of the body helping reduce gout. Eat lots of vegetables, especially green leafy ones, and protein, Tofu, meat, eggs, milk. No rice bread or grains untill you've been on the low carb diet for 30 days, and then only add 2 cups of whole grains a day. I guarantee you will feel better and see the difference. And don't forget the water, 2 quarts a day, pure and fresh. No soda or juice, too much sugar. Don't drink anything but water, no tea or coffee either. The cafien in the tea and coffee dehydrate the body and the uric acid levels rise when the body is dehydrated. feel better soon.

Sympstoms\n1.Changes in Urination\nKidneys make urine, so when the kidneys are failing, the urine may change. You may have to get up at night to urinate. Urine may be foamy or bubbly. You may urinate more often, or in greater amounts than usual, with pale urine. \nYou may urinate less often, or in smaller amounts than usual with dark colored urine. Your urine may contain blood. You may feel pressure or have difficulty urinating. \n\n2: Swelling\nFailing kidneys don't remove extra fluid, which builds up in your body causing swelling in the legs, ankles, feet, face, and/or hands.\n\n3: Fatigue\nHealthy kidneys make a hormone called erythropoietin (a-rith'-ro-po'-uh-tin) that tells your body to make oxygen-carrying red blood cells. As the kidneys fail, they make less erythropoietin. With fewer red blood cells to carry oxygen, your muscles and brain become tired very quickly. This condition is called anemia, and it can be treated.\n\n\nPrevention:\nKeep your blood pressure below 130/80. Learn to check your blood pressure at home. \nIf you have diabetes, keep your blood sugar as close to normal as possible. Your doctor will want you to check your blood sugar several times each day. \nMaintain a healthy weight. This can help you prevent other diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. \nMaintain healthy levels of fats (lipids), such as cholesterol and triglycerides. \nDo not smoke or use other tobacco products. Smoking can lead to atherosclerosis, which reduces blood flow to the kidneys and increases blood pressure.

If you can tell it's a muscle issue, get a massage & go to a chiropractor. If you're unsure, go to a doctor & make sure it's not your kidneys.

Go to the ER. Your kidneys can hurt because you are dehydrated. I was dehydrated a few weeks ago and they hurt. You need to go to the emergency room asap if you are getting dehydrated because that is very bad for diabetics.You may need intravenous fluids.

Have you tried drinking 8 8ounce glasses of water a day...sounds stupid but if you drink that amount daily you are sure to get results for constipation....don't drink more than that though, too much water is no good for your kidneys. In the mean time try to eat greens, cold cereals and just try a stool softener, any otc will do or try dulcolax suppositories until you get your diet changed.

no, well probabnly not... let me tell you I have had loads of kidney stones nad had surgery twice once on each side and laser surgery to blow themup 4 times!!! diet, I was told, has nothing to do with the type of stones I produced, I made calcium stones, for uric acid stones maybe the tomatos are a bit acidy but even so you would need to eat a hell of a lot of them to have this affect... I had no abnormalities in either blood or body chemistry but well had loads of stones they tailed off and stopped after I reached about 40... some people have them early some later in life... glad I dont get them any more is all I can say

not good for either.  Best thing for kidney stones is plenty of clear fluids NOT CARBONATED.  Gallstones....ewww.  Once you get them, its hard to get rid of them....you don't "pass" them like you would a kidney stone, and the more greasy or oily foods you eat, the worse they are.  More than likely, you'll need to get your gall bladder out.

Really you should go to the doctor.  These infections can lead to loss of a kidney.  However, if you are having reoccurring infections you need to make sure to drink plenty of water in the AM especially and then throughout the day.  Also, cut out sugar and alcohol as these 'feed' the bacteria (both the good and bad).  \n\nDrinking a small glass of pure cranberry juice (with no sugar, yes it tastes awful) helps to keep the bladder environment acidic, helping to kill off the bacteria.  Finally, you need to encourage the good bacteria to grow and replace the bacteria.  You can do this by eating yogurt or other foods with 'live cultures' or get live bacteria pills from a vitamin store.  If you get the live bacteria pills make sure they are refrigerated or you'll get sick.
