If the stones are large, they may stay in your kidney and not cause any problems!. It is when a small piece breaks loose and moves down your ureter towards your bladder that the pain becomes excruciating as your ureter spasms while trying to move the stone down!. By increasing your fluids dramatically, you can assist your kidneys in moving small stones down into your bladder where you can pass them!. Larger stones, if they cause problems, have to be removed during a surgical procedure by a Urologist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You need to supplement your diet with zinc!. Zinc citrate, zinc gluconate, or Optizinc are more easily absorbed!. You may take up to the maximum recommended dose of 100mg per day!.
And yes you should be drinking a lot of water - up to 3 quarts per day!. For pain relief, drink the juice of half a fresh lemon in 8oz of water every half hour until the pain subsides!. You may alternate between lemon juice grapefruit juice and apple juice!.
Eat a lot of fresh green leafy vegetables, broccoli, yellow and orange foods such as pumpkin, papaya, carrots, cantaloupe, collard and other foods rich in vitamin A!.
It would be good if you include in your diet the following foods which are sources of zinc:
Dulse, egg, fish, kelp legumes, lima beans, liver, meats, mushrooms, pecans, oysters, pumpkin seeds, sardines, seafood, sunflower seeds, whole grains and parsley
If you carefully follow the above, the stones should dissolve and pass out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
