Does Coke/Pop cause kidney stones?!


Question:

Does Coke/Pop cause kidney stones?

Hey,

Now, i have been drinking Coke my entire life. Well, almost. I drink only a bit, but I used to be crazy and drink 3 or 4 cans a week. I began to expirence lower back pain, and realized it was my kidneys. I was worried I had kidney stones. No problem. Now, It was th end of the year, so I had about 2 cans of coke and a half a can of Sprite the last week. Now my right kidney hurts. Just a little, no hard pains. This has happen to me before, but I just want to know, what is it? Does Coke cause kidney stones. Also, what are the symptoms of kidney stones?

Please excuse my typing as my "Shift" key broke.

:)


Answers:

kidney stones are caused by calcium build-up in the urinary tract. this could be from drinking too much milk, sodium. Soda drinks are a tough substance for the kidneys to "clean" up. If one drinks a lot of sodas they should counteract that by drinking more h2o.
you just may need a good kidney flush with some cranberry juice or aloe vera juice.

Some people share that this is the closest a man can feel that a woman would have when having a baby from labor pains.
