Anyone got a remedy for kidney stones?
I've heard that alcohol in moderate doses is considered a remedy for them as well, but I don't know how well that remedy works.
Cranberry juice in mega-doses. The chemical in the juice is acidic and does a number on the stones.
I do not have personal experience with this but I found this for you:

For kidney stones, drink lots of distilled or filtered water and limit animal protein. My dad has had kidney stones twice. Sometimes, they can be quite painful. They say that the pain passing a stone comes close to the pain a woman feels during childbirth.
Water..Cranberry juice stay away from booze and anything with caffine...
Good luck..Being a sufferer on those damn things myself. I feel your pain.
1: Drink lots of water. It helps to flush out the stone.
2: Get a urine strainer to capture the stone. You'll also need to either urinate through the strainer or urinate into a container and then pour it through the strainer. If you see something that looks like a grain of sand, save it in a container and take it to your PCP or a urologist for analysis.
The best weapons against kidney stone-related pain are dilaudid and toradol. Awesome stuff.
When all else fails, come to the ER. Gunner
