My husband had five kidney stone attacks over the space of about 2 years, the last one resulting in lithotripsy to break up a 1" stone. I know how painful they are and what a wonderful relief it is for him to no longer have to worry about them. I wanted to share with you what we have found.
The stones were analyzed and were made up of acids. The doctor suggested that he go online and find a high alkaline diet to go on and take one teaspoon of baking soda mixed in water a couple of times a day. He told us that the baking soda can prevent acid kidney stones and can even dissolve them if you already have them. The diet consists of less protein, especially red meats, less refined carbohydrates and lots of vegetables. A few things that are very good for him to eat are celery, avocados, almonds, and tomatoes.
We followed his advice. We found some information of alkaline diets and have tried to change our eating habits, although we are not very good at sticking with it for the long run. What we have done though, is found a way to take the baking soda. Baking soda mixed in water is pretty awful. Taking it twice a day was more than my husband could stand. I went to the health food store and found some clear, empty, gelatin capsules. Every week I fill a bunch of these with baking soda. Taking three after breakfast, three after dinner and three before bedtime keeps his acid levels in check, which he monitors with PH strips. He hasn't had a kidney stone since we started to do this. He has been kidney stone free for TWO YEARS! It is well worth it to take baking soda three times a day. If you have acid stones, this may help you neutralize the acid in your body.
