    Today we’re going to talk about what to do at the first sign of a kidney stone.
    What are the first signs of a kidney stone?
    1. Back pain (usually on one side and could wrap around to the front)
    2. Lower abdominal pain or deep dull ache on one side
    3. Groin pain
    4. Blood in the urine
    5. Painful urination
    6. Urge to urinate but unable to do so
    7. Nausea or vomiting
    A kidney stone can develop in the kidney or just outside of the kidney in the duct. There are several types of kidney stones, but the most common is the oxalate stone, which we’re going to focus on.
    What you could do if you start noticing symptoms of a kidney stone:
    • Drink at least 2.5 liters of fluid
    • Drink 1 cup of lemon juice per day
    • Take potassium citrate
    Foods to avoid (foods high in oxalates):
    • Spinach
    • Almonds
    • Chocolate
    • Swiss chard
    • Beet tops
    • Peanuts
    If you consume these foods, here are a few things you could do to help prevent calcium oxalate stones:
    • Consume the food with calcium (for example, a spinach salad with cheese)
    • Take chondroitin sulfate
    • Take berberine
    • Take cod liver oil

    Kidney stone is by far the most painful experience I've ever had. Drove myself into town in tears. By the time I got to urgent care, two male nurses met me outside the door in the parking lot and had to carry me in. Passing it was brutal. I'm tough, but I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone.

Got to hospital. He couldnt be found nor anyone with the key to the lock on the frig where the medicine was. I was literally BEATING on the door to get back into the area where that frig was. Had to be pulled away. Cant remember anything more than that.

    Omg! I was gonna say lemon juice! I passed a massive stone all alone at home thinking it was my gallbladder because it was such a severe pain with a fever. Boy oh boy. I drank a cup straight of lemon juice in that little lemon bottle followed by 2 liters of water and later that day, boom I pushed...yes pushed, the stone was so big, I had to push the stone out...never seen anything like it and Im a nurse ..I never seen a stone so big. Yes, I got it from working long hard shifts while dehydrated.....but lemon juice definitely works.

    At the first sign of a kidney stone I didn’t know what was causing the pain, only that it was in my back. I went to the local urgent care center and they said that based on the location of the pain that I probably had a kidney stone. Their prescription was to go home and pass it. So, I went home and began drinking all of the water that I could drink. The pain began moving around my side eventually groin area and eventually it was gone. My suggestion for what to do at the first sign of a stone is to drink all the water that you can to flush it out.

When he does feel like he has one he increases his lemon water intake and takes Chanca piedra (Phyllanthus niruri) also known as ‘stone breaker’ which has helped immensely, more than anything else he has tried. There are quite a few studies about it to refer to.

    Just went through my first episode of having a kidney stone. It was 6mm. Worst pain ever. I think if this happens again, I'm going straight to the ER because at least they can give you the good pain meds that will last you until get the procedure done. But hopefully, there won't be a next time. I've taken steps to avoid ever getting another stone, one of which is increase daily fluid intake to at least a gallon a day. Also, 4 tbsp of apple cider vinegar a day.

      @mialargo9388 Před 3 lety +4

      @@beingsshepherd Hi there, well I can't remember exactly, I would take about 2-3 tbsp of unfiltered acv with some water at least x3 (throughout the day), sometimes even more depending on the pain.. I'd usually start with more, until the pain gradually faded within a few days.
      I'd also drink lemon juices as well.. they work fine too, first time I got a stone I stuck to those since I didn't know of acv.. but acv is more powerful if you can take it, so I combine both remedies..
      Never passed an actual hard stone and I've been through this four times. I believe they dissolved as I 'd monitor my pee for a whole week even after the pain went away..lol
      what I got were the common calcium stones which are easier to break down but it's said to work well on the uric acid stones too
      Last time, I was feeling some mild familiar pulling back pain which only got stronger bothering me for about an hour.. had run out of acv so I rushed to the kitchen and sipped on some plain filtered vinegar, I could not believe my pain went away after 5 minutes! Saved myself the heating pad that night! You're extremely lucky if you catch it as long as it's still on the kidney, it sure works much faster in dissolving it before the pain kicks :)

      @@hepzlawrence7710 definitely dilute it with water, always!
      Start with 1 tablespoon of ACV, but try to work your way up to 2 tablespoons of it per day... I always use a 16oz cup, put the apple cider vinegar in first, then just fill the rest of the cup with water and I'm good to go, I try to personally drink one of those each day, for various health reasons. It helps me with intermittent fasting, and also keeps my seasonal allergies away. But I've become use to the undesirable flavor of ACV. When I make this drink for other people I usually put a bunch of lemonade in the cup, and then fill to the top with water. Lemonade is a game-changer, it REALLY improves the taste! So I always suggest that people start off that way, just to simply be able to get it down your throat. Oh also, ACV cures a sore throat almost instantly, also heartburn too, that stuff is amazing!!
      Lastly, I suggest drinking it through a straw, in an effort to keep it from soaking in to your teeth. Vinegar can eat away at the enamel of your teeth if you let it, it's very acidic (which is great for your stomach, but not for your teeth) so I always personally keep a 2nd cup near by of just water. After I drink some ACV I chase that down with plain water, and swish it around in my mouth, just to be safe. And, I am not a doctor, this is not medical advice. But I do hope you'll give it a try. Theres plenty of websites that would have more information on this sort of thing. Good luck, I hope that helped answer your question!

    Thanks for this interesting information. Just a precision, if you started a kidney stone crisis with obstruction you should not drink a lot at that moment, otherwise it will make the pressure increase with unbearable pain while the kidney will go on dangerously swelling ... when the crisis recedes, then you can drink again more but cautiously... in the case of milder crisis with smaller stones, non obstructing, then you can drink more ... I have a history of 23 years of kidney stones ( oxalates) and the preventive information in this video is precious. On the curative side, the solution is lithotripsy, breaking the stones by means of shockwaves applied externally, non invasive...

    Here's what I did:
    1) Minimised consumption of oxalate-rich foods (e.g. Tahini, tomatoes, watercress, soy protein isolate, mustard), 2) Applied reusable frozen ice packs to pains and carried them with me in public (alas paracetamol and Ibuprofen did nothing.), 3) Kept meal sizes LOW and thoroughly chewed food small (a stomach *full of food* exacerbated the pain immensely), 4) Took one 100mg capsule of the suggested _Potassium Citrate_ daily for maybe 3 consecutive days (really seems very effective. _Calcium Citrate_ on the other hand, didn't obviously help).

    For the first time in my 67 years, I now have a kidney stone, 18 mm in size. I began drinking fresh squeezed lemon juice a few weeks ago after watching this video. I am curious to know if it has reduced it in size or not. I am in the process of setting up a date for removal of it at the hospital. I was having the first three symptoms Dr Berg mentioned. I had a routine urine test in October come back indicating something was wrong. But urine cultures were negative for infection. And because my pain was intense around my hip area and not around the kidney, my doctor didn’t think it was a stone. Plus my first ultrasound in November missed it entirely! I also had a constant dull ache in my lower abdomen. I went to a urologist in January. He saw my urinalyses and immediately said the results are really bad and I need to be on antibiotics. He had the ultrasound repeated but at his hospital. That is when the stone was found. There must have been an infection from it, because the antibiotics really helped me to feel better. And the pain in my hip is much better since beginning the lemon juice everyday. So we will see what happens when it is ultrasounded again before its removal. Grateful for the information in this video!
