Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a friend with a Hx of Kidney stones x 6yrs and drinks cola almost 24/7 and occassionally green tea and water when doesn t have the cola. He has a poor diet and labs have been WNL ( least thats what he says) very concerned for him. Had him on a green tea ans water regiment for a month and did very well... no stones and alot of energy. I m very concerned about him. I believe the phosphoric acid and poor diet are major roles in the stones and he has stopped listening to me about the cola diet and how unhealthy it is. Should i call his urologist and explain about the diet and cola abuse? this wouldn t be the first time I ve called the doctor on him.
In that case, better to consult a urologist to rule out ant major harm on kidney due to cold drink. Try to shift him on substitute like juice or tea or coffee etc. That would help to decrease the dose of it. In case, you need further help, you can ask
Thanks
