[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1619487, member: 438800"] I only just saw this (must have scrolled past it too fast yesterday). That sounds awful, and I know just what you mean about never wanting to go through that again! (For me, was bad enough [I]without[/I] the laser stuff.) Just as a matter of interest, did your doctors specifically indicate that nuts might have been a factor? My specialist doctor had nothing to say about diet, which was frustrating. To me, never having had a kidney stone in my life, it was very suggestive: [LIST] [*]Switch to low-carb diet. Among other things, nut consumption goes from virtually zero to several nut-snacks per day. (Pecans, macadamias, Brazils, a small dessert-plateful each time!). [*]Exactly three months later, kidney stone passes. Only change I made to diet afterwards was (a) drink a lot more water daily, and (b) after Internet research, drink the juice of half a lemon daily. [*]Nearly six months after start of LC diet, another kidney stone (and about twice as large as the first one). This time, I am dropping nuts (altogether) in hopes that they were the culprit (they do appear on several lists of known stone-causing foods). [/LIST] Of course it could have been a total coincidence that I became a kidney-stone factory just after making a huge change in my diet, but I have my suspicions!!! [/QUOTE]
