Thanks. And I’m definitely staying hydrated.
High oxalate foods. hmmm. Have to check that out. Never even heard of that before and I do a bunch of food research.
Then again… after the 2nd stone, short of waving crystals above my belly, I’m down for just about anything…
Other than eating Brussel Sprouts.
Edit: WOW… I looked at the Cleveland Clinic’s page on Kidney Stones and I think I figured out how I got them!
For the first time in years, I had a cold both years. So, I started taking megadoses of Vitamin C (several thousand mg per day) at the same time I stopped my intake of dairy. Plus, my intake of Tea increased as did sodium due to things like canned soups.
Turns out it was a perfect storm.
This hadn’t happened before because I hadn’t had a cold in years.
In a scientific and medical sense, it’s interesting.
Knowing that I can help prevent or at least mitigate future stones is encouraging.
Also knowing that I can’t really do anything about THIS stone other than drink plenty of fluid and wait for it to pass…well, that’s not so fun.
