Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 As one who has Medullary Sponge Kidney, I understand kidney stones! I have been through a stone capture attempt, twice, and then lithotripsy. My DH did some research and found that the enzymes in pineapple will dissolve small stones, thus preventing them from getting larger. I eat pineapple when I can; be careful - those same enzymes will make your mouth sore if you eat too much at one sitting! So I eat it sparingly but as regularly as I can, plus I try to drink 32-50 ozs. of water daily. Watermelon is also very good on the enzymes. DH will juice pineapple for me also. I haven't had a stone now in 5 years, so that is a good thing. Right now I am getting through two asthma attacks in the last three months, plus acute bronchitis now. It seems I have successfully weaned from the HC because I haven't needed it at all through all this, except for a very short time during the first attack. After that I started weaning because I kept forgetting doses with no repercussions, so it seemed time. Even now with the stress from the acute bronchitis I have had no episode of shaking, external or internal, or any other symptom like I had in the past, thank goodness! So eat pineapple and watermelon for KS, or juice them if you like, plus drink at least 32 ounces per day, preferably more, and this should help a LOT. C.
