I'm currently battling kidney stones and my heavy pain killers influence my sarcasm, so if I offend you, please understand that I am PUI (Posting Under the Influence). Oh, and thank you, Vicki, for the apple cider vinegar lemonade suggestion. It's not as foul tasting if you mix it with enough agave syrup. :)

Martyn Halm I'm drinking the vinegar as slightly sweetened lemonade now. If that doesn't work, I'll take it straight, but I read on google that the vinegar might not be good for the enamel of your teeth.

Plus you still have to drink plenty of water afterward, so diluting the vinegar is recommended on several websitess.

Stosch magnesium supplements are good for preventing stones. magnesium regulates where in the body calcium goes to. on google as well for you to verify. i heard beer is good for preventing stones as well but that has some side effects ;)

Martyn Halm The beer seems to be a myth propagated by breweries :), but the magnesium could be spot on. I'm already taking Magnesium supplements.

Vicky, brushing your teeth after drinking something that softens your enamel will damage it even more. I could use mouth rinse though, so there's a thought.

Thanks for the continuing advice, folks. It's appreciated.

I'm also looking into berberis vulgaris, a homeopathic cure, but it doesn't work on all stones, it depends on the composition of the stone. So I have to check that with my physician.
