Hello,
You have 2 problems
1) Tiny stone in the left kidney
2) You have gastric problem - which may be hyper acidity - leading indigestion and gas formation. Moreover Gas inside the stomach is a normal one. Only excessive gas is an abnormal finding and mostly diagnosed by X-ray.
The tiny kidney stone is not a problem at all. It may produce pain from the kidney area to the lower middle of the abdomen on that particular side and not on both sides.
The urine alkalising agents is useful, but along with that Antibiotic, pain killers and diuretic as per your treating Dr's choice Intake of plenty of water + barley rice water and not holding the urine for a long time is advised.
Take treatment for your Hyper - acidity, That is
Timely bland diet, avoiding hot drinks, gas forming food items and chilly. Antacid + Antispasmodic + Anti flaultuants are advised
Generally your problem is nothing to worry. Watch for descend of stone.
Best wishes

Hi, many thanks for the question!
As per my knowledge, alkacitron alone will not be sufficient.
I will advise Stone conservative management (For 15 days): that should include Allopurinol, Na-Mg-citrate, Soda-bicarb, smooth muscle relaxant, pain killer, Tamsulosin in appropriate quantity & frequency for which you should consult a urologist.
Drink plenty of Water so that at least 3 Litres of urine is voided in 24 Hrs.
For abdominal complaints get an USG (Abdo-pelvis) done after adequate bowel preparation &
Repeat USG (KUB) after 15 days.
Wish you a good health. Take care.
