Oh yikes....I know people with kidney stones...gotta be one of the most painful things to endure. My son use to drink too much ice tea and developed oxalate crystals in his kidneys. I remember him doubling up with pain. He required medication and had to eliminate ice tea altogether...no problems now but it took a long time. He only drinks a warm cup of a sleepy time tea at bedtime.
I mean, he was always guzzling this stuff.
Anyways...whew!....all gone now....bye bye stone. Did you take it home as a souvenir? Could use as a paper weight or name it ....something like a pet rock. People do take home their kidney and gall bladder stones.
Enjoy all your newly purchased food....and candy...hmmmm

Hahaha, believe me it definitely has a name alright, several in fact, but none of which that can be repeated. I’ve talked to some women who gave birth and had a kidney stone, some said they would rather give birth. Although I find that hard to believe. When I get a stone, especially as big as this last one, what comes spewing out of my mouth would make a sailor or truck driver blush.
Didn’t bring any of it home, I don’t want any reminder of it all.
I’m sorry your son had to suffer so unmercifully. Did he have surgery. There is some evidence that green tea may prevent stone formation although I wouldn’t chance it even I liked tea.
As far as the “Food” goes, I wish it was just that but it’s just a bunch of ingredients, there in lies the problem.
Candy on the other hand is the perfect food, just unwrap and enjoy and I enjoy it immensely although not often enough. Chocolate is loaded with oxalates.
Take care,
Jake
