Need doctor's help! will kidney stones prevent bm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Kidney stones do not affect your gastrointestinal tract function. If you are taking narcotics for painful stones, however, you can expect some degree of constipation unless you also take a stool softener or laxative.
