Preventive strategies include dietary modifications and sometimes also taking drugs with the goal of reducing excretory load on the kidneys:
Drinking enough water to make 2 to 2.5 litres of urine per day.
A diet low in protein, nitrogen and sodium intake.
Restriction of oxalate-rich foods and maintaining an adequate intake of dietary calcium is recommended. There is equivocal evidence that calcium supplements increase the risk of stone formation, though calcium citrate appears to carries the lowest, if any, risk
Certain foods may increase the risk of stones: spinach, chocolate, peanuts, cocoa, tomato juice, grapefruit juice, apple juice, soda (acidic and contains phosphorus), all types of tea, and berries (high levels of oxalate).
Please see the webpages for more details on Kidney stone.

You mean kidney stones?
Make changes to the amount of salt, calcium, oxalate, protein, potassium and fluid in your diet.
Reduce the amount of animal protein, and drink lots of water.

I've had kidney stones in the past........my urologist suggested less pop and less green tea.......surprisingly they can both cause the stones, also drink plenty of water.

thats stones and reduce your calcium intake.not much cheese and a beer or two a week can help with the removal of stone. however if you have much pain i would see my doctor.stones can cut into your kidneys and when it travels into your bladder it can cut your bladder as well and they hurt very much
