The Size of A BB, it Was

As others have stated, drink as much water as you can Tony. There can be several factors, including heredity, in getting stones.

One thing is to avoid excessive use of antacids like Tums and Rolaids, the added calcium can aggravate the situation.

I have had my share, including a trip to the emergency room for one that went beyond human levels of pain tolerance. I haven't had one for a couple years now (knock on wood). I hope this one is your last one as well.

don't eat icecream and drink mountain dew at the same time.

Let's just say that I've had more than I can count with two hands! As stated before, drink lots of water, and orange juice or grapefruit juice (high acidity) may actually be better than cranberry juice. If you feel another one coming on I would definitely recommend a visit to the Dr. and get a screen to catch it so they can analyze it. There are different kinds of stones (calcium based, protein based) that would be treated differently. Good luck!

As above- also I understand that carbonated drinks should be removed from your diet as well. My neighbor has had these several times and I've had to take him to the Emergency Room(a whole story in itself!) Good luck, I DO hope this was a once in a lifetime for ya!
