Kidney stones and drinking 80 to 100 ounces daily.

Jeez, that’s a lot of liquid. I can’t drink that much. I think I'd drown if I drank that much. I’ve had 8 kidney stones. I use to take potassium citrate which I believe is considered the gold standard to prevent stones but I quit taking it.
I drink orange juice every day to take my iron pill. It increases citrate. I haven’t had a stone since.
Best wishes,
Jake

How much OJ needed to prevent stones?
Do you mind telling me the dosage of potassium citrate they had you on to try to dissolve stones ? Or was it just prevention? I have large stones and they just put stents in and a prescription for the citrate.. so far nothing seems to be happening. Thanks 🙁
