Kidney stones: home remedy


I have had 2 episodes of kidney stones, is there anything I can do at home to prevent them? The pain was unbearable.

Sure, drink lots of water. Keep well hydrated. If you exercise, make sure you always carry ample water or some type of beverage with you. If you have developed oxalate stones, then you should avoid eating foods like spinach, okra, rhubarb, beets, yams, sweet potatoes, chocolates and soy products. Unfortunately the pain of a kidney stone is excruciating and you may need prescription strength pain pills.
