A member asked:
Can cranberry juice irritate my gastritis i have kidney stones they told me to drink this to help with the stone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely!: There may be many stomach irritants: citrus, tomato, peppermint, spices, chocolate, splenda, etc. You have a double-whammy because you need to acidify your urine (hopefully a recommendation based on analysis of a stone your submitted!). If this is the case, find other compounds that may help your kidney stone condition. If you haven't caught a stone for analysis, then don't just go on a whim!
