Servent. You're wrong on this one. In fact, both UNC and Duke kidney stone expert urologists told me that there is very little that changes in diet can do for kidney stones. It's water and heredity.

Of course if you ingest nothing, you will not get stones.

All are caused by diet!!!!! 99% of all ailments are from out diets. Food and medications are what is killing us!!! Eat raw vegi's, fruits and just plain good food, no more fast food, COOK if you don't know how LEARN.

My husband and I have both had multiple kidney stones and our son had his first one at the age of 10 (he has since had two more in the past three years). The best thing we have done is to eliminate ice tea from our diets. Tea is high in oxalate and having been raised in the south we drank it by the gallons.

I have had over 10 kidney stones in the last decade. 4 this year alone and I still have 4 in my right kidney and 3 in my left. I also had lithotripsy in 2010 for one that blocked and would not pass. The pain I have endured with these things is unreal. IV dilaudid in an ER setting barley takes the edge off. I am now on a medication called potassium citrate which and drinking TONS of water daily. The medication and water should prevent new stones from forming up to 90% or so I was told. The unfortunate thing is the ones in me will eventually move. They are like ticking time bombs. Anyone who has ever had these things will know what I am talking about.

I was told not all lemonade is created equal. The frozen concentrate isn't the best source. Doc's seem to want fresh squeezed lemonade. Good luck with that.

Another thing is calcium. More calcium (counter intuitive) is actually helpful by being present to bind with the oxalate. Unfortunately, more calcium this had had the effect of driving my system to phosphate stones instead of calcium oxalate. They form faster and get bigger in a hurry.

I will start drinking lemonade. I have had kidney stones and don't won't to go through that again. Good information.

I've only had one, but it was the worst pain of my life. I'm never without a water bottle at work. I had never heard about drinking lemonade to prevent them, but I drink a lot of it at home--good deal!

glass of lemonade a day can keep the doctors away? i can dig it. mix with a little vodka and mmm-MMM hush yo mouth suga

I have to laugh anout the Lemonade, back in !990 I ask my Dr. if Lemonade would help me with my Stones. he said No, Drink Water, which is also good, But you have to drink about 96oz a Day. Anyways, Right before he retired I was in his Office and he said to me, You have to do what I do , Every night I make about a Gallon of Lemonade when I get home. I smiled and said you told me it wouldn't work. he said I never told you that. But about a year ago I read in a little paper I get called the BOTTOM LINE a DR. from Calf. said to drink Lemonade and it will eleminate about 80% of Kidney Stones. I only had about 12 of them, Mine are so big a old man told me that he could stone his Driveway with them. DRINK LEMONADE,
