My heart goes out to you and your daughter, and ANYONE suffering from stones! My wife's been suffering from kidney stones for the past year. She has passed about 8 in the passed year. We are trying all we can to do this naturally. The problem is that she already is "riddled" with the stones as her doctor said...(about 28 could be seen). SO, we just need to make sure these can pass without the crazy pain and suffering, AND that she is making more. It's all about diet. Diet, diet, diet, and water water water!
So, she drinkks ONLY distilled water and has for about a year or more. I heard that you can lose minerals this way etc...but you get so many other minerals everyday from everything else that you consume, that you even out your intake. People that are prone to making stones, cant take all the minerals anyway. And the past year the distilled water really helps. The only think is, the more water you drink, the more you are passing everything through your body. So since you have stones, your moving them.
This brings us to ways on helping the pain, and naturally is the only way we want to do it if at all possible, although she has had to resort to pain killers when it gets so bad she is throwing up and passing out. You can alleviate the stones sharp edges that are dragging through your system with a few things. This is what she has found that help her: apple cider vinegar drink (she hates the taste, but this helps the most (ill explain if anyone ants to hear, just ask), pure olive oil (while stone is on the move), pure fresh lemon, pure organic apple juice. These things all help when passing stones.
For her diet, she stays away from ALL REFINED SUGAR! That means JUICE unless its organic PURE juice, NO ADDED Sugars, Beer and red wine, etc...the worst of enemies, and also, hardy greens, like kale, chard, spinach, and for some reason red meat like burgers, steaks, sausage bother her terribly, even as soon as 2-4 hours later. She has seen no problems with chicken and turkey . Have your daughters stay away from anything that is dehydrating! All the things I mention abouve are rich in minerals and very dehydrating. And do try and catch them and bring them in to be analyzed like Serenity says.
Gotta go to work! be back later! I'll tell my wife to hop online and talk to you guys, she needs this forum! Thanks all!
