@jimmy05 I see my endocrinologist on the 26th to discuss treatment. I suspect she’ll start me on a thiazide. In the meantime, I’ve been reading about it and lifestyle changes I can make including drinking more water, reducing sodium and animal protein in my diet. I’ve cut back on the whey protein supplements I was taking. I’ve been into the “more protein is good for building muscle” camp for years and have learned that too much animal protein can make hypercalciuria worse.

This could explain a lot for me with regards to my osteoporosis. I’m hoping this might help. In doing a site search here I did see a person who said that the treatment didn’t help with his IH so I will remain cautiously optimistic and keep expectations moderate.

Have you had any issues with the hydrochlorothiazide?

@oopsiedaisy I've been taking it for 2 months now I haven't had any issues except that it makes you urinate more frequently. What issues have you heard about??
