I do not know about the stones but for the most part it is a metabolic malfunction that causes to developing of stones in the first place. Certain things would make you prone to develop stones such as drinking a lot of coffee, calcium pills etc... However you can prevent a lot of it by flushing your system with water. I suggest you do the following: Do not limit yourself to spinach juice, unless you love it and it is natural. My suggestion is for you to consume foods that are high in iron and in the same meal always drink a glass of orange juice. Drinking or eating citrus with high iron foods doubles your iron absorption.

I'm also anaemic, my Doctor told me to eat more red meat that's lean in fat. Take a low dose iron pill (because the pill will constipate you). Make sure you drink orange juice it will help in absorbing the iron, almost any type of juice will work. Leafy greens, like spinach, turnip greens etc. I was told that certain type of peanut will help with iron, but i don't remember witch one.

I have never heard of that one and I worked in radiology for almost 12 years. Kidney stones are calcifications caused by not having enough water in your system. You need 6-8 glasses of water per day. Try this: take 2 tbls. apple cider vinegar in an 8 oz. glass of water 2 times a day. Curbs appetite. Cures acne. Fights depression. Really really works. Has 93 vitamins and minerals.

I do not know about spinach juice, but watch out drinking bottled water. It can be higher in mineral content. I have not had a flare up since I switched back to tap water.

Doctors do not always know what causes a stone to form. While certain foods may promote stone formation in people who are susceptible, scientists do not believe that eating any specific food causes stones to form in people who are not susceptible.

A person with a family history of kidney stones may be more likely to develop stones. Urinary tract infections, kidney disorders such as cystic kidney diseases, and certain metabolic disorders such as hyperparathyroidism are also linked to stone formation.

In addition, more than 70 percent of people with a rare hereditary disease called renal tubular acidosis develop kidney stones.

Cystinuria and hyperoxaluria are two other rare, inherited metabolic disorders that often cause kidney stones. In cystinuria, too much of the amino acid cystine, which does not dissolve in urine, is voided. This can lead to the formation of stones made of cystine. In patients with hyperoxaluria, the body produces too much of the salt oxalate. When there is more oxalate than can be dissolved in the urine, the crystals settle out and form stones.

Hypercalciuria is inherited. It is the cause of stones in more than half of patients. Calcium is absorbed from food in excess and is lost into the urine. This high level of calcium in the urine causes crystals of calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate to form in the kidneys or urinary tract.

Other causes of kidney stones are hyperuricosuria which is a disorder of uric acid metabolism, gout, excess intake of vitamin D, urinary tract infections, and blockage of the urinary tract. Certain diuretics which are commonly called water pills or calcium-based antacids may increase the risk of forming kidney stones by increasing the amount of calcium in the urine.

Calcium oxalate stones may also form in people who have a chronic inflammation of the bowel or who have had an intestinal bypass operation, or ostomy surgery. As mentioned above, struvite stones can form in people who have had a urinary tract infection. People who take the protease inhibitor indinavir, a drug used to treat HIV infection, are at risk of developing kidney stones.

Spinach also has a high calcium content. The oxalate content in spinach binds with calcium decreasing its absorption. By way of comparison, the body can absorb about half of the calcium present in broccoli, yet only around 5% of the calcium in spinach. Oxalate is one of a number of factors that can contribute to gout and kidney stones. Equally or more notable factors contributing to calcium stones are: genetic tendency, high intake of animal protein, excess calcium intake, excess vitamin D, prolonged immobility, hyperparathyroidism, renal tubular acidosis, and excess dietary fiber (Williams, 1993).

so what iam trying to say is eat your food in proper propotion to avoid being an anaemic!!!!
get well soon!!! all the best!!!!

I'd worry more about being anemic, anemia means your not making enough blood (red blood cells to be exact)....As to your concern about kidney stones there are a number of types of foods and conditions that can cause them, you should see a doctor about it so specific tests can be conducted.
