Suggest Home Remedies For Kidney Stone

I've suffered from kidney stones many, many years. I've had so man surgeries it has broken me financially. I simply can not afford to see a doctor and my insurance will no longer pay for the operations. I've passed many on my own - monthly, weekly - forever. I've been trying to pass a stone for over a month now and am bout to run out of pain meds. I drank a cup of squeezed lemon juice yesterday and am now passing bright red blood. I need some quick home remedy to pass these things and have tried just about everything out there. My stones are calcium. Please help!

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 urinary system. This will also allow small stones to pass through.
(ii) Visit washrooms regularly and empty your bladder when you feel like doing urination.
(iii) Please take fruits like apple, papaya, watermelon, pineapple, sweetlime, bananas and orange, vegetables like, white gourd, ladyfinger, pumpkin, pulses and legumes.
(v) If you have sharp pain then you should consult your doctor and take pain reliever medications under strict supervision.

DONTs for kidney stones
(i) Please avoid holding urine for long intervals.
(ii) Please reduce foods containing oxalates like non veg, vegetables like spinach, tomato, cauliflower, brinjals, nuts like cashew, pista and almonds.
(iii) Decrease extra salt in foods.
(iv) Avoid spicy pickles.
(v) Please eat meat products in normal amounts, avoid eating too much.
