How To Flush Out Kidney Stones? - #60985
I am dealing with some really frustrating kidney stones urinary issues right now, and honestly, I’m kind of at my wits' end. Last month, I had this awful pain, thought it was just a backache, only to find out it was a kidney stone! The doctor said I gotta change my diet, but I'm not sure what's really the worst foods for kidney stones. Like, I mean, if I eat tomatoes, is that bad? And then there’s the whole urinary issues thing. I feel like I’m going to the bathroom all the time, which can't be normal, right? Is that connected to the kidney stones? It's super annoying, and sometimes I think, how do you even know when a kidney stone has passed into the bladder? I actually thought I could feel something shifting the other day, but I can't be sure. I really would love to know if anyone has tips on how to flush out kidney stones naturally. Drinking water feels like a chore! I tried some herbal remedies but feel lost on what’s effective. Ugh, just want to feel better! Any advice??

Q: Can kidney stones cause urine issues?
A: Yes, kidney stones can cause several urinary issues, such as pain during urination, changes in urine color, and increased frequency of urination. As the stones pass through the urinary tract, they can irritate the lining, leading to discomfort and potential infections.
Q: What are the worst foods for kidney stones?

Q: How do you know when a kidney stone has passed into the bladder?
