4/5 stars!
"The pain from kidney stones is known to bring macho, grown men to their knees. I should know, because it happened to me."
This book contains: excruciating pain, new diets, minerals, oxalates, bad habits, and, of course, kidney stones.
I was looking for books to read on the subject, and this quickly caught my eye for the title. An urologist getting a kidney stone? That’s unusual, or at least that’s what I thought.
The book starts with the author sharing the story of how he got his kidney stone and his experience with the terrible pain it comes with. After that, he explains what are kidney stones, the basic anatomy of the urinary tract, how kidney stones are formed, the factors that contribute to their development, and how you can treat the stones and prevent them from happening again.
The part I appreciated the most was the diet part! If you tend to develop kidney stones, make sure you are eating the right foods. The author has a list of what you should avoid and what you can eat freely - that was very helpful!
It’s an easy and practical book to go through, and it uses simple terms so that everyone can understand what is being said. Worth checking out if you’re new to the condition and want to learn more information on what you can do.

Excellent guide to eating to prevent kidney stones
This goes into great detail on kidney stones and what one should eat (and not eat) to avoid them. It held my interest, especially since I have the most common kidney stone. Hint: don’t eat high oxalate foods. I should have had this information many years ago to avoid the pain I experienced.

Written in a chatty style but had some inconsistencies.
