Food: Your Miracle Medicine by Jean Carper is a goldmine of info on how to control your kidney stones with diet and water. I ‘cured” my cousin of his severe problems by sending him a copy of this book. He followed her advice.

I’m 23 and I also keep getting kidney infections and UTI. My prayers go out to you hon, I know how fed up with them you already are. I’ve tried drinking lots of liquids per day but alas I still get them regardless. I have to say, I don’t drink a lot of water which people have told me thats why I keep getting the infections. I dunno if there is any truth to that or not. I just cant stand water it makes me wanna barf. The majority of kidney infections usually make their apperance after sex, which can lead to them yes.
But from personal expirance I have to tell you about this nifty little product I’ve found. Its called URISTAT (sp) and it is great. Its pills that I take when I can feel a kidney infection coming on (burning frequent urination etc), you can get them at Walmart which is usually where I get them but i’m sure they are available other places. If you can’t find them ask, I dont know why but they are usually near the condoms. Take 2 pills as directed when you feel the signs of an infection and make sure to drink lots of liquid that day. Within 2 or 3 days its gone. You also may want to know they will change color of your urine so if your pee is yellow or orange when taking these that is normal. These pills are godsent, they really do work! And they take away the pain the bladder spasms and the other nasty crap that occurs when you have an infection! I would say that if your still hurting after 4 days or its getting worse then bring on the antibodics but personally since I’ve found these pills I havent had to get on antibodics. Good luck!

Thankyou for your question. It reminded me to drink more water. I’m on topamax and a diuretic. Both medications promote kidney stones, especially topamax. The label says my doctor is suppose to keep a careful watch for kidney stones. How do they do that?

I had the same problem! DRINK WATER! and go on webmd.com for a list of foods to cut down on too. There are kidney stones caused by vitamin C also, but that’s not your problem. If you need caffeine change to Monster and Red Bull. ~this info is what I do~

Drink a lot of good water! Avoid too much coffee, tea, tomato’s, cucumber and over exertion — all these within limits, okay! Another golden rule for you: when you need to go, go: don’t hold! avoid remotest chances of urinary infection!

always always always drink plenty of water, water flushes out the toxins in your kidneys wich prevents infection, also stones are a build up of uric acid in the body wich can be caused by too high an intake of calcium, which also causes gout. the best thing you can do for yourself is drink plenty of water. you should be urinating 4-5 times daily

Try to drink alot more water. I have almost stopped drinking soda all togeether, I drink it on occasion.Cut your coffie down to 2 cups a day, even try to stay away from juice eat the fruit instead, you will be getting alot more fiber in your diet by eating the fruit instead of drinking the juice.

Caffeine is the #1 cause of kidney stones. Also, green leafy vegetables can cause them as well. Not only does your diet need to change but so does your personal hygiene and apparrel. Bathe EVERY day. Change your underwear every day, and ONLY wear white underwear. Urinate immediately after sex. Do not wear tight pants or undergarments.
