i was in the er with kidney stones sunday(including bloody pee).  theyve been moving around the last 2 days and seem stuck at the moment.  now it hurts extremely bad when i take a deep breath.  is that a kidney stone or could it be something else?

Accepted Answer

Stone and infection: You may have urinary infection in addition to the stones. ER is not the appropriate setting for long term care of your disorder. It would be prudent to talk to you doctor and may need a consultation with a urologist. In the meantime drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless. You may take acetaminophen for pain.
Wish you good health!

No: Halitosis is bad breath, and has many causes, such as poor dental hygiene, gum disease, smoking, sinus infections, tonsil infections, eating onions, eating fishy foods, drinking coffee, stomach reflux, etc...

Question 10

is skim milk bad for kidney stones? should i stop taking dairy products?

Accepted Answer

Not the key: Following a kidney stone that contains calcium, you may be advised to limit / restrict all kinds of things that main contain calcium, phosphate or whatever. This probably has more to do with physicians protecting themselves from possible liability, and this is not the key to preventing stones -- staying very well-hydrated is far more important.  Talk with your physician about this.
