Nuts? Nuts are a problem? I eat TONS of nuts. But I’m also very lactose intolerant so a dairy chaser ain’t an option…
This really sucks. Reminding me how I take feeling good for granted…

I was on Allopurinol but was one of the unlucky ones with side affects - possible neuropathy in my feet. or it could have been the statins, my bad back etc., but the Neurologist is partial to the allopurinol...Quote:

I wish the drug companies would pay me for testing - one drug I had ALL the side effects!
Kidney stones can be diet or genetic - so if you have kids....and stay hydrated at the track.

When I really did have kidney stones about 9 years ago I thought it was back pain that came and went for no reason. these were the same type of pains just not as intense. Cranberry juice has been recommended as well and I did drink that too for this more recent occurrence. Good luck!
"My general doctor told me last year to take probiotics and increase my fiber intake after my first colonoscopy. Turns out, the Gatorade I was mixing my water-soluble fiber into is essentially flavored sodium and electrolyte water that was likely adding to and growing whatever stones I had that hadn't bothered me in 6 years. They called it "kidney stone fertilizer." I'm a dumbass. I won't be doing that any more."
I moved to Florida about three years ago. I started drinking Gatorade to stay hydrated during the summer months. Big mistake. I never had a kidney stone in my life until then. We determined the stones were being caused by the Gatorade and my high uric acid levels in my blood. I stopped drinking Gatorade and I haven't had a stone since.
