Today we’re going to talk about what to do at the first sign of a kidney stone. 

What are the first signs of a kidney stone? 
1. Back pain (usually on one side and could wrap around to the front) 
2. Lower abdominal pain or deep dull ache on one side 
3. Groin pain 
4. Blood in the urine
5. Painful urination 
6. Urge to urinate but unable to do so 
7. Nausea or vomiting 

A kidney stone can develop in the kidney or just outside of the kidney in the duct. There are several types of kidney stones, but the most common is the oxalate stone, which we’re going to focus on. 

What you could do if you start noticing symptoms of a kidney stone:
• Drink at least 2.5 liters of fluid
• Drink 1 cup of lemon juice per day 
• Take potassium citrate 

Foods to avoid (foods high in oxalates):
• Spinach 
• Almonds 
• Chocolate 
• Swiss chard 
• Beet tops 
• Peanuts 

If you consume these foods, here are a few things you could do to help prevent calcium oxalate stones:
• Consume the food with calcium (for example, a spinach salad with cheese) 
• Take chondroitin sulfate
• Take berberine 
• Take cod liver oil
