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.

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. |

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. |

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  |
