I had a kidney stone, and I was in some of the most severe pain I’ve ever experienced. I’m going to cover the most important things you should do to help prevent kidney stones if you’re prone to kidney stones.
The most common type of kidney stone is a calcium oxalate stone. Your body makes oxalates, and oxalates also come from food. One of the main causes of kidney stones is the body’s inability to get rid of oxalates. It’s important to avoid foods and drinks high in oxalates.
Foods and drinks high in oxalates:
• Tea
• Spinach
• Almonds
• Kiwi
• Chocolate
• Soy
• Potatoes
• Beans
6 ways to help prevent kidney stones:
1. Drink 2.5 liters of fluid a day (about 10.5 cups or 84.5 oz. )
2. Add at least 1 tbsp. of lemon to your water (I also like to add 1tsp. of apple cider vinegar and a drop of stevia)
3. Avoid high-oxalate foods
4. Massage the parts of your abdomen where your kidneys are
5. Consume a low-carb diet
6. Consume vitamin D, magnesium, and potassium

The pain is so severe that you can't even take two steps from where you are. It was from drinking too much ice tea. Today, I never even drink a cup of soda. Just lemon water mixed with apple cider vinegar x2 a day. Anyone reading this, PLS DO NOT WAIT. Kidney stones is one of the worst pains you will ever experience!

Dr. Berg - you are SO RIGHT in regards to the pain levels. I had a kidney stone 8 years ago. I was in a Barbers chair getting a haircut & this overwhelming trunk pain came over me. I made it home, then laid on the floor for a half hour, then called an ambulance because I was almost in shock from the pain. I was diagnosed with a Uric Acid stone. At the time I was obese. I was drinking black tea sweetened with Honey, along with a lot of regular Coca-Cola. I was eating a lot of nuts - especially Pistachios & Almonds. I was drinking whey protein drinks. And I was consuming Red Beets on a pretty regular basis. I was sent home from the hospital with Flomax, & was told to try and pass it at home because “my kidney stone was not large enough for Lithotripsy. For 4 days I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t defecate, couldn’t eat, & the only position that was comfortable was on my stomach kneeling down & hugging an ottoman. After 4 days of torture I decided through sheer willpower to scour the internet for remedies that would help me pass it. I found one remedy out of the UK that worked. Taking 4 tablespoons of Concentrated Lemon Juice mixed with 4 tablespoons of Olive Oil. I took it as much as I could stomach it - which was 5x’s per day. After 3 days I was pain free, but I never saw the stone. I asked my urologist: What happened to the stone? He said: YOU PULVERIZED IT! You did exactly what I would’ve had you do, except I would’ve prescribed Potassium Citrate for you. I got off all the junk I was eating & drinking. I have lost 150lbs on Keto & I filter my water thru a Berkey Water Filter system. Our water in Southern NJ is atrociously bad. I only drink water nowadays. I have not had a reoccurrence of a stone ever in the last 8 years.

Try distilled water. It's the purest water you can get. It's so clean, it leaches toxins out of the body. It'll also make you pee in just 30 min to an hour after drinking a generous amount and your pee will be very clear and you'll feel de-bloated.

Thankyou for sharing this. My kidney stone experience was brutally painful. I’ve never experienced so much pain in my life. I honestly thought I would die on the way to the hospital. Thankfully, the doctor at the ER gave me a pain inhibitor and injected some sort of medicine that put me to sleep right away. When I woke up, they told me it was a kidney stone. I took some medication and voila! The stone exited without any pain. Have been drinking lots of water every day since then!

Just want to share my experience! The amount of water I drink is not relevant to form a kidney stone or not. I usually drink about no more than 1 liter/day last 5 years. But every morning I drink about 300 ml water and half lemon sqeezed. Never had a kidney stone since that moment with 1 exception! I decided to do keto for 1 month and excluded the lemon from the water and believe me I made a stone on the 10-th day! Then I began to put the lemon in the water again and already 1 year have no problems at all! Advise you all to drink water and lemon every day!

I've passed hundreds of stones of various sizes and had multiple operations over the last 10 years to remove obstructive stones. One was 3cm and required 4 operations over 5 months and required a nephrostomy bag for that time to protect my kidney. Oh, and I only have one functioning kidney.

I would then ask those mothers which was the worst pain, child birth or kidney stones. Over 95% said they would take the child birth pain over the kidney stone pain. That should give you an idea of the severity of kidney stone pain.

Yup. I had a baby, and when she was two weeks old I basically collapsed in pain, started shaking, sweating and vomiting. I passed out on the floor from pain and was rushed to the ER. I was vomiting all over, they had to knock me out. I then told them I'm experiencing pain worse than my natural childbirth two weeks before. I described birthing contractions as a 10 out of 10 pain, and I mean I was in so much pain I ended up being naked in the hospital bathroom ripping my hospital gown off, and a lady walked in and I didn't even care because the pain was so horrific. And the kidney stone pain was worse, waaaay worse than that. Way worse. 20 out of 10. I'd give birth again any day than have that kidney stone pain I experienced 🤢

Childbirth comes with a baby at the end. Not only is that something to look forward to, but chances are you knew the more intense it got the closer you were to the end. That and many women are drugged up during childbirth and can barely feel what their body is doing, or help it. That’s not how I did it, but that’s how most people do it in the US.

Having kidney stones on three occasions really reset my pain threshold. Now I rarely bother with pain relief medication because my tollerance for pain has risen immensely. I have added lemon juice to my diet (as a dressing on many foods) and as part of my favourite drink: a "cranberry crush". This drink consists of 200ml cranberry juice (NOT cranberry-flavored sugar-water), 50ml of squeezed lemon juice and the balance (to taste) of soda water and a few ice-cubes. This drink has done wonders for my urinary system, eliminating the need to get up and pee at night and eliminating any further issues with kidney stones (it's been four years now). Tastes pretty good too! Perhaps it's the low pH, the effect of the citrates or just pure placebo -- I don't know... all I know is that it works.

As someone who has suffered from kidney stones for 30 years, the best thing to do is get your stones analyzed and find out what they are made of. My first several stones were 100% uric acid, which is unusual and is the opposite of calcium based stones. The reason for knowing the composition of your kidney stones is that the treatment for calcium based stones (medications and diet) is usually different from treating uric acid based stones, even though there may be oxalates in either of them, and even though drinking a lot of water is important non matter what the kidney stones are made of. The amount of uric acid in your body increases when on a low carb diet, which may cause uric acid based kidney stones. So while the vast majority of people who have kidney stones, have calcium based stones (with or without oxalates), I would expect a higher percentage of the population who are on a low carb diet (and people who view this channel) to be at risk for high levels of uric acid in the blood, and uric acid based stones. In addition to causing uric acid kidney stones, high levels of uric acid may cause gout. Uric acid stones don't show up on x-rays very well (or at all), unless the x-ray is done with a contrast IV, and even then may not be readily visible. Calcium based stones are usually easily visible in a simple KUB x-ray. Since retrieving a kidney stone to analyze it can sometimes be difficult or impossible, have your doctor do a simple uric acid blood test to either confirm or rule out whether you have high levels of uric acid. Many doctors will not do this test because uric acid stones are somewhat unusual compared to the incidence of calcium based stones, but insist on the uric acid blood test. Fortunately. there are specific medications that will lower the amount of uric acid in the bloodstream. However, as Dr. Berg explained, drinking a lot of water to dilute the urine in the kidney is still important regardless of what type of kidney stone you have, but that may not be enough if your uric acid levels (or other chemicals in your urine) are too high.

I was operated on weeks later. 3 weeks after the operation I still had the same pain. Urine was tested 2 more times, and nothing showed up. Two days later I passed an 8mm kidney stone and the pain was gone. I was able the safe the stone and it was sent to a laboratory. It was 50% calcium oxalate and 50%uric acid. The doctor ordered an ultrasound that showed there is one more kidney stone in my left kidney. There's no way of telling when it breaks loose.

Few months ago I had this happened to me. Super sharp, awful pain woke me up at 2am followed up by the worst nausea I had in the last two decades. The pain was in my upper left side of my lower back, radiating toward the front of my stomach and down to my bladder. It felt like I had pieces of broken glass inside somewhere. Leaning to the right side, massaging and walking was the only thing that helped lower the pain but it was still bad. I spent next 9hrs puffing and walking around my living room, drinking lots of Chanca Piedra tea, water and taking Stone Breaker supplement. By 11am my pain eased up and by the afternoon it was completely gone. I just hope I never go thru that again so I'm trying to improve my diet, drink more water and hopefully that will lower the chance of it happening again.

Kidney stone + Medicaid = Nightmare. I was in the Emergency Room 6 times for 1 stone. Each time, the doctors said the stone was too large to pass, and I needed immediate surgery. And each time, Medicaid denied the surgery. Took 3 months for the stone to finally pass. Lots of water, tea with lemon juice and parsley, and an Rx to dilate the urinary tract to give the stone more space to pass.

I am going through this now! Week of Thanksgiving I woke up and could not pee. In tremendous pain. Just a little dark blood came out. Go to the emergency room,they did a CAT scan and found that both ureters were stopped up with stones the largest being 9mm. There are 5 or 6 on each side. I went to the operating room to have the procedure done to extract them. They couldn't go through with the procedure because infection had set in. Surgeon said if they did the procedure while infected I would be very sick. He put stints in both sides so I could urinate and gave antibiotics intravenously and sent me home with more to take orally. I am presently in no pain but the stones are still lodged in there. In a few weeks I go back for the procedure. Sheesh! I will be glad when this over. I usally pass stones on my own. Not this time though.Thanks for the video.

I suffer from kidney stones and sometimes "shards" due to various kidney issues I have. The pain sometimes is so bad its beyond comprehension. BUT if you need to relieve the pain so you can collect yourself or cant quite make it to a hospital right away....go into as hot a shower as you can stand!!! I usually jut lay on the shower floor and have nothing but hot water running on me. You will be amazed how much this will help as it takes your brains attention off of the kidney pain to asses the heat. Also for around the house when I'm having pain issues with my kidneys i will lay on a " rice sock" which is as it sounds I use two socks one inside of the other and filled with white rice and then knotted shut.... put in the microwave one to two minutes...BE VERY CAREFUL...it will be extremely hot enough to burn bare skin so be careful!!! I hope this helps anyone who has to deal with kidney pain as it truly is the worst pain imaginable. :/

My first two kidney stones sucked, but passed within hours. The 3rd one was a 6mm and ended up taking me the ER two times, then in for surgery to remove it, and then back to the ER again for stent pain - 12 weeks in total. Not only were the 3 ER visits the 3 most painful moments of my life, the 5 days with a stent were almost as bad. I never thought pain could make you throw up and sweat prior to this whole ordeal. Urologists need to emphasize how brutal stents can be. They acted like it would be no big deal and i'd be back working the next day. It was 5 days of pure hell, 10/10 pain for 6 hours each day, that ends with you pulling the stent out of your urethra yourself while awake. While the ER visits were worse pain than the 5 days with the stent, the stent was overall worse because it was such a long duration of high intensity pain. Annoyingly, I drink about 2-3 liters of water per day and 1 liter of iced coffee per day. So the water recommendation alone apparently isn't enough to prevent me from getting these things. Fortunately they're running lab analysis on the stone to figure out what type of stone it is so I can modify my diet.

CT scan showed 2 more stones in kidney and was scheduled for shock wave treatment but both stones passed with not much pain before procedure. It's definitely the shape of the stone rather than the size that gets you... Dr. told me that women told him that childbirth was a piece of cake compared to stones passing!

I know cranberry juice isn't supposed to help that...maybe visualization of the extreme acidic juice (in my mind) helped dissolve that one. And, I jumped up and down too. My first stone was like yours only I did throw up in an ER examination room alone waiting an hour for someone to come help me. Crawled to the bathroom to throw up. That was so long ago and I've passed a few more but nothing like that. I do drink water with juice from an organic lemon but not 10 cups a day. I think I should start!

Three months Prior to covid I had suffered from the same back pain. I thought I was having sympathy pain of gallbladder issues that my husband was having addressed. I told no one. I suffered for a few weeks. One early morning, I felt a sick feeling in my stomach and leaned into the sink knowing that if I were to get sick the pain in my back would be excruciating. The next moment I was on the floor, I had passed out. My head had hit hard on the floor. I was driven to the hospital where I was scanned for anything they thought they should. They only found that I had stones in my kidneys and no other concerns. I noted that the back pain had subsided. I knew then that probably was my issue all along. I now drink lemon water every day and eat foods that help with eliminating and preventing the stones. I stay away from large quantities of foods that help make the stone's. I also know that I needed to get up and move around to help my body move things inside.

The main difference in diet is that everyone else drinks coffee. I would instead have an energy drink during lunch at work, and my absolute favorite green is spinach- I could practically live on it. Easily having it a few times a week as a salad. Everyone else only has it once a month or so. Another factor which I believe contributed greatly was frequently allowing myself to become dehydrated throughout the work day, and my go to drink tactic during the sweat-drenched work week was alternating between water and Gatorade. I've since changed my diet significantly. No more energy drinks, spinach, or any other sugary drinks such as Gatorade. Strictly water now- 64oz per shift, at the least. I actually cut Gatorade and spinach from my diet 6 months ago, and haven't had any issues until the most recent stone. Unfortunately, I wasn't maintaining hydration as well once the cold weather set in.

At almost 70 I had my first and hopefully last stone. Was in and out of the emergency room. Given medicine to break it up, did not work. Worst pain I have EVER had. Morphine helped. Then they blasted it out. Went home, had a fever, back to the emergency room. Had sepsis and was in the hospital for a week. Evidently I had an infection that should have been addressed before the surgery. I survived it all. Luckily I addressed the sepsis early enough. Turns out I had the perfect storm for a kidney stone. Had been eating lots of taboule salad (w/parsley), cashews, chocolate, spinach and just about everything on the oxalates list. I was told in the emergency room they can tell when someone has a kidney stone right away. Evidently worse than childbirth (I never had children). Hope I never get one again. Diet, diet, diet...
