Question 3

how can i avoid getting kidney stones or gallstones on a vlcd? why causes these to occur? is it the weight loss itself that causes this?

Accepted Answer

Stones and VLCD: Kidney stones should not occur on a VLCD if you drink plenty of liquids, and assuming you do not have an abnormality in calcium metabolism.  Gallstones are different. Less food= less bile = sludge and small stones, which can occasionally cause colic. The risk is small, but ursodiol can prevent this. Talk to your doc.  Gallstones are common; you may have before you start the diet.

Question 4

had litho yest to break up kidney stones. started my period morn of surgery.concerned about bleeding, heavy flow. can kidneys cause blood like period?

Accepted Answer

Likely unrelated: Any bleeding from your lithotripsy would  be from your kidneys, end up in your bladder and through your urethra in the urine.

This is  completely separate from your menses,  which is the lining of your uterus  exiting your body via your vagina.

Can be tiny: If it works your way into your ureter, a 1 mm stone can be very uncomfortable.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

The reverse: Actually, coffee can lead to more dilute urine which can help prevent kidney stones.

Question 7

what causes a kidney stone and how can you prevent one?

Accepted Answer

Urine chemistry: Stones form due to high concentrations of stone elements in the urine e.g. Calcium, oxalate. A 24 hour urine collection by a nephrologist or urologist can make a diagnosis.
The first step in prevention is to drink enough to void 2 litres a day. See your physician first.

Question 8

what's the major cause of frequent passing kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: In women the most common cause is not drinking enough water. In men, the most common is too much calcium in the urine and there are several causes for this. Find an expert in the metabolic evaluation of kidney stones, usually an endocrinologist, or go to a major medical center with a stone clinic. We can prevent over 90% of recurrences with proper evaluation and treatment of the underlying cause.

Question 10

Many causes: If you have had multiple kidney stones you really should be consulting with a urologist and possibly an endocrinologist. Kidney stones can be caused by repeat or continued infection or metabolic states such as hyperparathyroidism.
