Re:Have any of you ever had kidney stones?

[Guest guest]

I had a small kidney stone along with my enlarged gall

bladder. I am progressively succeeding with flushes over the

period of a year now and also have been taking cianca piedra

herb in capsule form which is documented to slowly dissolve

kidney, liver and gall stones. I believe it has done a lot

to help with my condition. I will wait until my gall bladder

is back to functioning properly before I will bother with

another ultra sound but when I do I will post here about the

results of the kidney stone as well as the gall

bladder..might be six months though.

Apparently all they saw in the ultrasound was a small kidney

stone and an enlarged gall bladder, which the doctor said

was a symptom of gall stones. He didn't even suggest a

treatment for the kidney stone. He immediately began talking

about removing my gall bladder. When I asked about other

treatment for the gallstones, he said there was no point

trying to dissolve the gall stones, because they would just

come back. He suggested I should book the appointment

immediately when I told him I was going to do some research

on the internet. Luckily Dr. Saul Pressman from the

ozonetherapy list suggested I do a liver cleanse as soon as

possible. I did and felt immediate improvement from the

discomfort under the right rib cage. I have now done 4

flushes and I think the next one should just about take care

of the last bit of discomfort from the gall bladder.

I assume the kidney stone is gone due to the Cianca Piedra

and increased water intake but I won't know for sure until

the next ultrasound. I have noticed that I can handle the

cold much better and don't get that immediate chilled to the

bone shivering that I used to experience every time I walk

out into the Canadian winter air. I think women can pass a

small kidney stone without noticing, but I don't know for

sure. I definitely haven't noticed.

I don't have a lot of faith in some of my doctor's

recommended treatments, but he is useful in providing the

diagnosis, at least. A couple of years ago when I went to

him about my constipation he told me that no BM's for two or

three days on a regular basis was not necessarily a sign of

any problem and that if I WANTED more frequent BM's I should

just eat more fibre. DUH!! Is any one happy with bi-weekly

BM's?

Well I guess there's two of us then. I was told by the doc

to drink more water and that would reduce the risk of future

kidney stones. Did your doctor recommend anything for them?

Have you passed your kidney stone yet?

What's an enlarged gallbladder? Have your gallstones shown

up on xrays/ultrasounds?

They spotted my gallstones when they were checking for

kidney stones. Luckily I have no more in my kidney. Those

things sure look tiny when they finally pass, but they can

be quite painful to pass! I've taken both to a lab, where

they confirmed the obvious.
