kidney stone do you think its as im losing weight?

jadejo63

do you think its because of the things i am eating or anything? i am only 20 and am a female, i went to a&e crying in agony, never been in so much pain in my life, i have been given lots of tablets and cant really feel any pain now, so i think it has passed without me seeing it!! has anyone had these before?

Do you still take the tablets? If so, may be why you've not felt any pain or it passing. What does your diet consist of? Kidney stones are commonly a problem in older individuals but if your diet isn't as it should be, crystals can build up in your kidneys and cause a stone. Make sure to eat healthy, if you eat a lot of red meat start eating more white and make sure to drinks lots of water to help flush things out, I hear beer helps as well because of the carbs it contains

I had a friend with a similar experience, but I don't know the details of her diet at the time. I'm no expert but there might be a correlation!

Generally chronic dehydration is the main factor AFAIK

I know someone who lost a lot of weight in a short time who constantly had kidney stones. It's important to drink lots of water (I wish I followed my own advice on that).
