I have developed kidney stones since moving to North Carolina, in the "kidney stone belt." When I look up foods that contain high levels of oxalic acid, a major contributor to stones, many/most of them are Type O foods. So I am damned if I do, damned if I don't it seems.

I use a product I bought online called UriFlow and it is remarkable in reducing the symptoms and I assume the size of the stones. But after four days, I keep developing a nagging, low grade headache. I am sure there are, among the many herbs contained in this formulation, some non-O herbs. Or something that is causing my headaches.

Does Dr D provide a similar, O friendly herbal concoction or supplement designed for specifically kidney stones?

I will post my ingredients from the UriFlow when I have the bottle handy. I must find something. I refuse to pass another stone.

Thanks, in advance for your advice.

Urinary Halth protocol

Thanks for the link, Lloyd.

I have been on ER4YT for about 8 years. Hardcore for two years. Meaning mostly beneficials and very few avoids.

It's only within the last year I have developed the stones. So I don't think my balance is in question. I think some of the foods that Os are supposed to eat exacerbate the problem if you are in a region of the country famous for stones. Which is where I have been for the last 11 years.

All the urology sites say to avoid high vitamin C intake. Conflicts with the general kidney protocol.

Confused...

You do not need to take everything listed in a protocol.

The kidney protocol does more than just stones.

If you think Vitamin C is counter-indicated in your case, just omit taking it.

cute!!!

no stones in my region......yet I eat according to my swami personalized guideline

hardcore for almost 14 years

I'm confused.  Why would one region of the country have a higher incidence of kidney stones than another?  Is it that the soil in that area produces food that has a higher concentration of oxalic acid than normal?  Or is it due to a regional/cultural diet that is higher in oxalic acid?

It also might be due to contaminants in the drinking water.

Ah, that makes sense.

Sure does, or where it's hot,but people don't drink enough water. Funny I got a kidney stone when I lived in N.J.  Large School, only 5min between classes, and they would lock the only bathroom I could get to before 7th period, where there was another one. So I went all day without being able to use the restroom. At one time Bayonne was the bladder cancer capital of the world. I wonder why

Oh no!     I wouldn't have made it all day without a bathroom break.
