How to relieve cramping and bloating kidney stone?

Dr. Grant Linnell answered

Specializes in Radiology

laxatives: Kidney stones can cause inflammation which can lead to irritation of other abdominal organs, like the intestine. Intestinal inflammation can lead to bloating and distention. Drinking lots of fluids, eating your fruits and veggies and even trying an over-the-counter laxative may help.
