stones again....

Won't help the pain right now, but once this episode is over drink tons of water. Have the stones analyzed so they can figure out what you're ingesting too much of. I followed the docs recommendations after my kidney stones occurred nearly 20 years ago. I now drink water like a fish and knock wood, haven't had any more problems.

Ice tea was most likely a big contributor to my stones. When the doc mentioned tea as something that could contribute to stones, I knew that was probably it. After moving to Arizona I started drinking a ton of ice tea since it was delivered free to your table at restaurants, like water... Well, the crap can build up and if you're not diluting it enough it can cause stones.

YUP,been there done that,and I don't want the T-Shirt !!! I too drink mass quantities of Iced Tea,but I statred drinking a lot more water than I ever used to too,and thank God I haven't had a problem in about 6-8 years !!Has to be the most gawd awful pain that you just can't do anything to get rid of unless you're lucky enough to pass it quickly !!!
