Kidney Infection and stone Help !

You can try lemonade! Either store bought or fresh squeezed! Powdered mixes work too! This really does work on the most common types of stones, which are calcium oxalate!
Did you have the stone tested? That will tell you what type of stone it was. Ask your doctor the type. It's important to know the type, so you can take the steps needed to prevent making more.
Hydration is a must also! Drink enough so your urine is either clear or very light yellow.
You might want to alter your diet and eliminate some of the things that help to form the stones. Cut back or cut out for a while things like chocolate and caffeine. Increase your calcium intake (not with tablets). Try milk, cottage cheese, ice cream, puddings (just not chocolate).
Try cranberry juice and alternate that with the lemonade and water.
All these are simple tricks, but they do work! They worked for both my husband and myself.
In 2013, I landed in the ER in terrible pain and vomiting. Thought it was my appendix! Turned out to b a 1.7 centimeter stone. A kidney tumor was also discovered and had to be biopsied. Thankfully, it isn't cancer and continues to be monitored. A month later, the stone caused a complete blockage. Had a kidney stent, two lithotripsies, stent removal and then a third lithotripsy for a second blockage. I was making stones like crazy. I started a low oxalate diet and drank LOTS of lemonade. I also asked my urologist about a pamphlet I had read in the exam room. It is for a supplement called Theralith X R. It helps to balance the chemistry in your kidneys. You can order it online. You don't need a perscription! I eventually passed ALL the stones (over ten months) and have remained stone free since!
Not only are they painful and extremely annoying, but they can cause kidney damage!
Good luck!
