kidney stones and soda pop
Question about kidney stones and soda pop?

Ok I know that kidney stones form when there is too much calcium in your urine. But why do they say pop causes kidney stones? I'm just a little confused. What ingredient in pop causes kidney stones because the last time I checked none of my pop had calcium in it. I am trying to pass a stone and I bought some Sprite, Fresca, and Peach flavored sparkling water. I thought that maybe because they are clear and naturally flavored they will help me drink more liquids and hopefully pass this stone faster. But are they helping me by keeping me drinking more or hurting me because it is "pop" that could lead to another stone in the future. Also if anyone has any tips on how to pass a stone faster please let me know! Thanks for the help!

Pop is not good for you as it DEHYDRATES you - therefore, making it harder to pass a stone.

There are 2 ways in which a stone can be removed from the kidney:

1) Eat lemons! (Atleast one whole lemon a day!) As you know, lemon is acidic, and kidney stones are alkaline (calcium). The acid neutralises, and thus, breaks down the stones.

2) Drink plenty of water! This will help clear out your kidneys and will reduce the pain present in your abdomen (due to kidney stones).

Hope i've helped!

I GOT KIDNEY STONES! OUCH!
