A friend swears by the sitting in a tub full of very hot water and drinking beer. Keep the water hot and pee in the tub. The thing that helped me (knock on wood) from forming them is to cut back on salt. Cut way back!
Started out my morning today with yet another kidney stone attack (3rd in the last year). This one took about 3 hours for the stone to make it somewhere that made the pain go away. Last one (3 months ago) took me to the ER for a nice shot of demerol to mitigate the pain. Doctors at the ER say I have multiple stones, but they're not big enough to require going to a specialist to have them broken up by lasers. So, as a result I guess I have to just keep dealing with random bouts of excruciating pain that lasts for hours and then suddenly dissipates as quickly as it began. Anyone else here going through this stupid s**t and is there a remedy I haven't been made aware of?
I spent the best part of a week passing one, guy told me to get a six pack of good beer and drink it and it would pass. It took about 5beers to pass. There is actually an AMA study showing a beer a day helps prevent some types of kidney stones. I don't recall the details, but something in the chemical makeup of the beer helps keep certain types of stones from forming.This cure may sound funny to some, and not be acceptable to others. But this is what my friend did that had this problem.
If he felt an event coming on He would drink 3 or 4 beers without relieving himself and with the relaxing nature of the beer, and the flushing of the kidneys all went well. You cant make this stuff up and if you try it at least you won't be in pain.

If there is no science behind this... I think we should all still try it!!I spent the best part of a week passing one, guy told me to get a six pack of good beer and drink it and it would pass.

The worst pain I have ever encountered, I thought I was dying!!!
The pain medication that they gave me caused my bowels to shut down.
They forced a tube up my nose, down my throat into my stomach hooked up to a pump. Talk about fun!
I swelled up like I was 9 months pregnant. In the hospital for 8 days.
I wished for death at some points.
