Kidney Stone(s) --- Bee

[Guest guest]

Hello, Bee. I hope this message finds you well.

Last night I passed one or more kidney stones (not sure how many

really). It was extremely painful and difficult. Can you help me with

this in any way?

I've read that too much vitamin D can be a problem and kidney stones

are an indication, because of the high levels of calcium. Are there

things that I can do to help me minimize this from ever happening

again, because it was unbearable and I ended up having to go to the ER

to get hydrated, as I was vomiting several times and could not keep

fluids down.

Is this just a sign of detoxing/healing, or is this truly me doing

something incorrectly as far as supplements are concerned, like

vitamin D, A, or calcium/magnesium? I know I was taking very large

doses of calcium before, for quite some time, but now I am consuming

no more than 850 mg of calcium per day, which seems to be a reasonable

amount with my adequate magnesium intake.

Thanks so much for your help in advance. This really scared the crap

out of me, to say the least.

Best wishes,

==>Sorry to hear you went through that . It's strange you

didn't have any prior signs of them, i.e. pain in the area on the

left or right of the waist.

==>If you are following my recommendations you definitely wouldn't be

getting too much Vitamin D or calcium! This may be a result of all

of that calcium you were getting in several supplements. Didn't it

total over 2,800 mg per day? Kidney stones are mainly caused by

mineral imbalances; calcium is the worst culprit!

==>You should be taking 300 mg each of calcium and magnesium twice a

day = total of 600 mg of each per day.
