kidney stones...............

[GN One Day...]

Interesting...and sad:

-Avoid caffeine which seems to increase urinary calcium.
-DECREASE CONSUMPTION OF animal protein which increases the risk of stone formation.
-Limit your salt intake (salt increases urinary calcium excretion).

No coffee, no meat, no salt. Just shoot me now.
So you don't want the urinary calcium, but you also don't want to increase urinary calcium excretion. No problem.
My Dr. told me to take Vitamin B..something? Don't see mention of it there. Said it would help. I always forget about it.

Correct. You want calcium in your bones and teeth, not in your pee.

Good, highly absorbable forms of calcium IN.

Limit animal flesh, caffeine, poorly absorbable forms of calcium and non sea salt IN - all of which cause the body to leach calcium OUT.

So a little now rather than a big later...

LOL!
They went in and physically removed the stone. No small incision either. Literally have a scar matching my wife's C section. More than you wanted to know, huh? I can go into more detail if you want...pictures...etc.
No, no brain parts removed in the process.
