A question for viewers: What was your kidney stone experience like?

[@chuckmyers3517]

So i get from 1-2 calcium stones a month, now granted there have been months i have gone without getting any, but i have had these since i was 23. i usually can pass them without hospital visits but there have been many times i can not stand the pain and go. I am pretty good at tracking the passing of these stones from start to finish, wish these would go away these affect so much of my life from eating to drinking to just exercising or a walk with the wife.

[@prajishkasrod2479]

Horiible pain sir

Is the stone also responsible for my foamy urine?

[@mariacedeno7523]

here's several suggestions worth trying drink plenty of water. eat watermelon - this can prevent kidney stones naturally. try taking pomegranate seeds and drink coconut water - these help reduce kidney stones . avoid tomato, cucumber, spinach and fizzy drinks. (I learned these and the reasons they work on caths remedy answer site )

[@luismanuel5618]

[@bolvarsdad3825]

Just came back from the ER, I get recurring kidney stones every year, and this one was the biggest at 8mm for me. At this point I've had so many that even though the pain is the same, I'm able to drive myself to the hospital so long as I stay calm and take deep breaths. Had to stay overnight, they gave me a JJ-stemp, some antibiotics, and sent me home the next day. To anyone who's never had a kidney stone, god I envy you.

[@butters3063]

As a sufferer of calcium kidney stones my whole life I appreciate this information. Just recently am suffering another bout of them and it was incredibly frustrating as I've not had sodas in my diet for a year+ now, and was pulling out my hair trying to find possible causes.

[@cherylhart9578]

10 days ago I figured out my horrible and crippling joint pain was due to my VERY Green smoothies! First time I have had no pain in two years. My smoothies were an entire batch of Collard greens, an entire bag of Spinach, Kale, raspberries, blueberries, collagen powder....I would have almonds with it. I even had pieces of stones floating around my knees causing terrible pain. I stopped all of it, and am now pain free. It is literally a miracle.

[@rashidm.8196]

Thanks for the highly informative video. I had a kidney stone in 2013. I haven't had one since, thank God, but I am always wary about what I eat how much I drink. At the time of my infliction, I thought I was living a healthy life. I went to the gym three to four times a week, my meals were relatively balanced, and I drank primarily water. But I should add that this was also a very stressful period in my life. A new job overseas awaited me and I was to be wed shortly before my departure. I believe all of this became a bit overwhelming for me and manifested itself into a kidney stone. Perhaps the cause might not always be one's diet. Sometimes the reason could be psychosomatic.

[@DrRobertChan]

the mind and body can be very connected as you say... sounds like you had a pretty healthy lifestyle if you were working out that much

[@rkgsd]

You could have some other stones forming or already formed in the kidneys. Only an MRI would be able to answer that.

My story is I have had four hospitalizations for severe sepsis but MDs couldn’t find source. After the third time it was determined to be a 6mm kidney stone caught in the tube going from the kidney to the bladder. It was removed by Dr. Bennett. I am asymptomatic for kidney stone pain, and had a fourth episode a year later. I’m on low dose nitrofurantoin and diet, so this visual method of learning was helpful!

[@marygabel7543]

Amazing you don't have the pain from a kidney stone (or repeated nausea and vomiting copious amounts of food...it's fun doing it while getting a CT scan). I know in some instances, pain is good. However, after suffering twice the pain of childbirth without a cute little baby to reward you...I just might trade you for that four day period.

[@nalissolus9213]

Do u have any unusual dietary intakes? Do u drink a lot of tea? Just curious.

[@MPam1619]

Since so many foods contain oxalates it seems to come down to moderation in eating. Rather than label any one food verboten, eating smaller portions overall seems to make more sense. Besides, Americans tend to eat supersize portions of nearly everything. Take, for example, the smoothie makers who go through a 1/2 bag of spinach a day. Thanks much for your video.

[@michellesweightlossjourney6599]

I totally agree!!

[@afroshark2799]

Just experienced my first one very recently. This thing had me literally sweating through my sheets and going into shock from the pain, my friend had to call an ambulance to take me to the ER, it was so bad... Will do anything to make sure it doesn't happen again, it's crippling.

Thank you! It's interesting because I tend to gravitate to a lot of these foods. Spinach and potatoes are my go-to's. Being lactose intolerant set me up for disaster and now I'm passing my second stone. I'll definitely take this advice for prevention.

[@eseskay99]

Hi Adrianna, try lactose-free milk and cheese. There are lots of cheeses that have no lactose. Swiss cheese comes to mind.

[@adrianna7462]

@TRUST first stone was surgically removed. Second stone I passed on my own, but I needed some medication to pass it as well as pain medication. It was very painful and took some time to pass, but once in my bladder it was easy from there. I think surgery was a worse experience for me personally.

[@eseskay99]

@TRUST - I passed 14 little stones each with a diameter of 2 mm or less. This was totally painless. Now, I was lucky because I had Extracorporal Sound Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL). I highly recommend you try this method because it was totally non-invasive, no stent was needed and painless. There was some blood in the urine on day one. But no pain.

Hi Dr. Chan, That's a great video! I like the humorous flavor throughout, and your son's comment at the end! I notice that you discourage rice bran. What about wheat bran? I often eat the Whole Foods 365 brand Organic Wheat Bran Flakes cereal. It has organic whole wheat, with organic wheat bran. There are only 3 grams of cane sugar but 125mg of salt. I usually combine this with Uncle Sam Cereal which has toasted whole wheat berry flakes with added flax seeds and barley malt with less than 1 gram of sugar per serving. Do you suggest I stop eating these cereals?

[@DrRobertChan]

wheat bran has got about 34 mg of oxalate per 3/4 cup, so it's considered in the high category.. if you've ever got something you are wondering about, go to www.kidneystonediet.com to look up the oxalate amounts

[@humblerojo6300]

Well done example. What popped out at me first and foremost was that when adding the meat there was no oxalate listed because it’s insignificant. Yet, most of the advice that doctors give their patients is to avoid animal meat. We live in a world where we tend to believe in advice from authorities who are continuously giving us the exact opposite dietary advice to what would actually make us healthy and cure us of diseases.

[@dfinite4089]

Not certain, but I think they recommend to not eat much protein from animal meat, because it makes the kidneys work very hard.

[@humblerojo6300]

@@dfinite4089 I understand why that was previously the advice given based on theory and assumptions but that’s now a well disproven myth with recent metabolic understanding and evidence. Doctors who no longer wish to learn beyond their original programming (mis-training) either haven’t caught up yet or refuse to reverse their previous advice for fear of reprisal. That said, if your patient has kidney damage it might be good advice to moderate ALL protein not just animal protein. It’s also important to understand that animal fat and protein (eaten in the absence of carbs and unnecessary fiber) is actually easier to digest and more bioavailable for people with a healthy gut than is plant protein.

@@humblerojo6300 a high carnitine choline diet with few fruits and vegetables seems like a good recipe for high TMAO levels

[@humblerojo6300]

@@Protolamna I’m aware that some hack researchers with dubious funding designed a study where they chose to make an assumption that TMAO was linked to cardiovascular disease. However, that was not evidence based, lab based nor was the study even long enough to track any meaningful data to find any cause and effect. Then Beyond Meat took that study and shouted it to the rooftops as “evidence” that their fake meat is better. TMAO is the same TMAO that humans have had for over a million years without cardiovascular disease. That disease has risen steadily and sharply from the moment people started eating seed oils. How can faux meat have better ingredients than beef which is 1 ingredient? Beyond Meat: Water, pea protein isolate, expeller-pressed canola oil, refined coconut oil, rice protein, natural flavors, cocoa butter, mung bean protein, methylcellulose, potato starch, apple extract, pomegranate extract, salt, potassium chloride, vinegar, lemon juice concentrate, sunflower lecithin, beet juice extract, and carrot.

I think that soya chunka (which might correspond to textured vegetable protein on this list here) with 30 grams - comes out to about 160 mg of oxalates. it's a little bit on the higher end of oxalates as you generally don't want to have more than 100 mg of oxalates in total per day .. www.stjoes.ca/patients-visitors/patient-education/patient-education-k-o/pd-9447-oxalate-in-food.pdf

hi uberprep, if you can just eat calcium rich foods, that's usually the best. you are correct in that calcium can bind the oxalates in your diet. sometimes people are told to actually cut out calcium in their diet, which doesn't help.

There is certain truth that the calcium will bind the oxalates, but as to the extent of what percentage of the oxalates in the food is bound is unclear.

@@marygabel7543They insist that you should still eat them. Still eat calcium AND vegetables and grain (only foods with oxylates) but then randomly admonish meat which is neither. 🤯

Thank you for posting this video doctor. I have 1.5 cm kidney stone. My doctor said that to make surgery is too dangerous for your age (I'm 29) because it can damage your kidney and ureter. What can I do doctor?

[@kosherpenguin]

Go see a different doctor! Your age shouldn't matter. That stone is going to cause you a lot of issues until it's removed.

[@soulTraveller144]

did you get it sorted? my friend has some i think so i look up, it seems chanca piedra helps

[@Herbie11]

1.5! That's nothin'

[@memyselfandi3925]

Kidney stones are the worse pain i had in my life! I get a few a year, nothing helps. Gets me depressed, 25+yrs of this misery.

[@DrRobertChan]

sorry to hear that. that sounds painful.

[@marygabel7543]

Did you find out what type of stones you have?

[@soulTraveller144]

have you tried distilled water, higher alkaline diet, chanca piedra, lemon water, u.t

[@teamextreme86]

See..... i was told its ok to eat meat ........ ahhhhh im so confused , im dealijg with this kidney stone now and have not ate in 5 days .... im starving .... getting told to eat this then getting told dont eat it from another source....... !!!!!!! Im gonna die if I don't eat soon !

[@eb6195]

It depends on the type of kidney stones you are dealing with. Oxalate/calcium kidney stones (75% of all kidney stones) mostly due to high oxalate plant foods. Uric acid stones come from purines in animal products.

And lemon or limes to your water !

[@jenniferlorence1950]

That's because every body is different and what works for Some People doesn't work for others, So your body tells You what's Good for it and what is Not, listen to your body, and drinking Water with fresh lemon 1/2 half a fresh lemon Squeezed on it might be a Good idea especially when You Wake Up and then Repeat it about 15 or 39 Minutes after the first one. And our bodies Change as we get older, So listen to your body more often, or write down everything you eat and how Your body reacts to what you ate that day.

Nice video content! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Trentvorty Perfection Kidney Theorem (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for improving kidney function without the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my m8 at very last got excellent success with it.
