Guest guest Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 , There is in principle no link between Samter's and kidney stones. Oxalate stones result essentially from food and drink. Have your blood and urine oxalate levels checked, avoid oxalate-rich or oxalate-forming foods, drink a fair amount of water that is not too high in minerals, etc. and recheck later. As mentioned in another post, magnesium, moderate vitamin Bs, yoghurt (calcium - calcium+oxalate precipitate in the gut and exit in the faeces) can help. There is a standard diet for oxalate kidney stones patients and your nephrologist should have given you a memo about this. > > I have samters and I am preparing for my fifth polyp removal surgery.I just found out about the samters last week and am doing research about it since i have been told i might need to do the desensitizing.I have also had numerous kidney stones and i was told they were the oxcylate(spelling) kind which are the most common and i was wondering if there was any link between the stones and the samters.Any info would be deeply appreciated since i am new to this.Will update again after the surgery. Thanks to all. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I don't believe there is a link between Samters and kidney stones. If you drink cranberry juice...stop! I have a friend who used to get kidney stones until he stopped drinking cranberry juice. Here is some info for you: http://www.medicineonline.com/news/12/1546/Cranberry-Juice-Not-a-Good-Kidney-Sto\ ne-Defense.html > > I have samters and I am preparing for my fifth polyp removal surgery.I just found out about the samters last week and am doing research about it since i have been told i might need to do the desensitizing.I have also had numerous kidney stones and i was told they were the oxcylate(spelling) kind which are the most common and i was wondering if there was any link between the stones and the samters.Any info would be deeply appreciated since i am new to this.Will update again after the surgery.
