Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Please find my suggestions for
kidney stones which you can practice. These are my own opinions and I suggest this to my patients.
DOs for kidney stones
(i) Drinking as much as 1.5 to 2.5 liters a day may help flush out your

(iii) Please take fruits like apple, papaya, watermelon, pineapple, sweetlime, bananas and orange, vegetables like, white gourd, ladyfinger, pumpkin, pulses and legumes.

sharp pain then you should consult your doctor and take pain reliever medications under strict supervision.
