Hi love your smile and the gentle manner you speaks.I felt so relax it was like chatting with a friend.u taught me a lot and your relax arua remains in my memory. Saying hi from Trinidad&Tobago.
Guys I JUST got out of kidney stone surgery earlier today. I had a 9mm stone😱I have a stint down there and it HURTS to urinate and it’s pure blood🥵what caused it for me was #1 black tea! I’d kill a gallon of Walmart black tea unsweetened every 3-5 days! I had no idea I was doing damage. I cut it out completely now. I loved it but I gotta take care of my self. I’m 38.
I too have a stent in place…I gotta go back for surgery to get a 1.1cm kidney stone removed. The pain I’m in on a daily is ridiculous. I was hospitalized for a week because of that and sepsis. The blood when I go pee on some days just….ugh 😭 I need this to end now!!
I've never had a stone smaller than 16mm and I get them every year. About 10 years ago I had one so big that it blew up inside my ureter wall causing massive internal bleeding and unimaginable pain. My Urologist said it was over 25mm. Anyhow, are you doing any better? If so, what steps have you taken to slow them down?
I have them now and literally all I drink is 4 ounces of pure leaf ice tea and 32 ounces of water. I’m home and in so much pain. You truly have a calming voice. Thank you!
@@DrRobertChan you replied, what an honor, ty. Best news, I passed the stones this morning. You know what is amazing? Is how the pain is immediately gone once the stones passed. My wife is a nurse, she brought Covid home to us all. Both of my wives had Covid and all of my children got it too. My other wife was giving us all 1000mg of vitAmin C Tablets, this is the Asian in her. Vitamin c, solves life’s problems…. and this is what caused the kidney stones. 2 weeks of these tablets at 1000mg a day. But alas I drank so much water I flushed these things out of me, Took a whole week. Free at last! Keep making videos Dr, real people actually watch and learn.
Hi I felt your pain.Ive currently got a few bladder stones,that were not removed properly removed last year.Kidney stones sound very painful.Glad to hear your good now😊👍
I have TRIED more than 10 medications for my stone problem..it is a very old problem.. I had more than 12 stones in both my kidneys.. I used WARSTONE DS Treatment and it helped me to relieve at least 7-8 stones from the kidneys, ,still 2-3 stones are left..but still it is BETTER than most of the medicines.. 🙂
thank you for all this and being a urologist. I am lactose intolerant and I have been using almond milk, oh dear. Luckily there are no many alternatives. I never did like soy milk. I do like soy sauce and I like my stir fries. so much to learn
Most things are fine in moderation if you're getting enough water regularly over the day. Water helps keep the urine diluted of stone-causing substances and flushes the crystals that could become stones.
Dehydration is the #1 cause of kidney stones. You need to get enough water regularly over the day to help keep the urine diluted of stone-causing substances and flush the crystals that could become stones. Generally speaking, most things are fine in moderation if water isn't an issue. P.S. If that's not a problem but you're still getting stones, ask about a 24-hour urine test because that gives specifics into what's causing your rocks. Calcium oxalate stones can be from too much or too little calcium, too much salt or vitamin C, urine that's too acidic. Often oxalates aren't the main problem.
Last 2019 I had blood in my urine. My doctors gave me prescriptions. They told me to have KUB ultrasound, findings that I have 2 stones. Every morning I always sits when peeing in May 2020. I was blessed to passed 2 consecutive stones while peeing. The next day another stone came out. I took it out of the toilet bowl for souvenirs. In 2021 another calcium stone smaller passed while am urinating sitting down on the toilet bowl. I thought no more kidney stones. When I took another kub ultrasound, there's still 2 stones. Now in 2022 am having blood in my urine, as if back to square one. My urologist gave me a list of food to avoid. I ask him what can I eat? My Hba1c is in the borderline, am getting frustrated and depress upon reaching 60 year old. Thanks to your video I can enjoy life and watch what I can eat and drink.
Man, you sound like me. Blood in urine, 60 years old, and going in for more tests to locate the cause (most likely kidney stones). I’m drinking 3 liters of water each day, (with plenty of lemon juice), and avoiding high oxalate foods. Good luck!
Great info, Doctor Chan. Thank you! thank you! thank you! I'm currently experiencing renal calculus (11mm) as interpreted remotely by a urologist from a CT scan image sequence. My question is this, humble doctor: In addition to my daily regimen of Chanca Piedra, Stone Free, Flomax, Macrobid, Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar, and a gallon of water (half with lemon juice), should I strap my Bose subwoofer to my left-rear flank and play some classical music? Perhaps start with Beethoven's 5th, then Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D minor", and a movement of "O Fortuna" by Carl Orff. I mean it couldn't hurt; sort of a poor man's lithotripsy. Maybe you have some musical suggestions along this line. Please, no rap or hip-hop. I'm nauseated enough already.
Those products could be *causing* your stones (you may have passed others without knowing) to grow and they certainly won't help a stone pass. Chanca piedra can make the urine more alkaline but you can do that much cheaper with lemon juice. Regardless, making the urine more alkaline can deter calcium oxalate and uric acid stones but cause other types to grow. (And you can try and dissolve uric acid stones...but with potassium citrate.) ACV is too weak to do anything for kidney stones. Passing a stone depends on its shape as well as its size. It's not impossible to pass an 11 mm stone but chances aren't great, sorry. (I've passed two 7 mm stones; another that size became obstructive.) Macrobid is for bladder infections. Find a doctor who can share actual medical information with you.
Carbonated water is usually fine: it's water and gas. If it contains minerals ask your urologist if it's okay for you. Most things are fine in moderation if you're getting enough water regularly over the day.
I don't know specifically about rice coffee, but you can extrapolate based on rice. brown rice is moderate in oxalate level (24 mg of oxalates per cup). ucikidneystonecenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Oxalate-Content-of-Foods.pdf
Water should be your main source of liquid. Water helps keep the urine diluted of stone-causing substances and flushes the crystals that could become stones. Caffeine is a diuretic and excess vitamin C turns to oxalates (which applies to cranberry juice too).
No, it's not required. Flomax (tamsulosin) works by dilating the ureters and relaxing the neck of the bladder. It can help pass a stone but doesn't work for everyone. Plus passing a stone depends on its shape as well as its size. P.S. It's "ureteroscopy" for laser lithotripsy.
Special, user-friendly - alike .. the way you introduce your matter .. appreciated. Try to summarize at the end to recall the viewer's memory.. Offcourse, I think that may be more useful.
Great Video Dr. I had a stone for a year before it was discovered this month when I finally got pain. I know now it was over a year in the making because I wet the bed twice a year ago but no one thought to check my kidney. Well after getting extreme pain in my right back side I went to the ER and they saw a 7mm stone. They also saw my creatinine levels up to 1.9 an after removing the stone 2 weeks ago my creatinine is now 1.67 and my EGFR level is 49… My questions are, now the surgery is fine and my stent is now removed, can I expect my creatinine’s level to go back down and my EGFR to go back up 🔝 to normal? If so, how long will it take approximately?
Indicators of kidney function can increase when you have a kidney stone or stent. They normally go back to normal after the problem has been treated. But keep in mind the numbers can be affected by what you eat and drink and if you're dehydrated.
Most people don't need what's in "energy" drinks. That said, most things are fine in moderation if you're getting enough water regularly over the day: water helps keep the urine diluted of stone-causing substances and flushes the crystals that could become stones. P.S. Caffeine is a diuretic and excess vitamin C turns to oxalates. Again: moderation.
Calcium binds with oxalates in the gut, right? Hypothesis or fact? You mention black tea soluble oxalates but what about black tea with milk? Based on the above, how much soluble oxalate would there be? Also mixing things with yogurt or cheese to reduce the soluble oxalates. Fact or fiction? Appreciate your clarification. Thanks for making great content!
Most things are fine in moderation if you're getting enough water regularly over the day. Water helps keep the urine diluted of stone-causing substances and flushes the crystals that could become stones.
To do what? Water and staying active can help pass a stone. Water is the best thing to help deter stones. But you can only reasonably try and dissolve uric acid stones...but you'd start with potassium citrate.
Im not sure what not to drink? I have kidney stones but I dont know what kind of stone? Would I know in urinalysis? Its 0.37mm and my urine is always acidic.
GOOD explaination Dok, thanks a lot! how about raisens? because I have this Wheat bread with raisens on it , is it ok to eat without harming your kidney?
Good day Dr.Robert Chan,i would to share about my problem as per my consultation with my doctor here in Lemery, Batangas, Philippines, she told me to take ultrasound to check about my kidney.as per the result of my ultrasound, she is not too sure how big is my stone in my rightside kidney ,she not sure also if my left kidney has stone.she gave 3 kinds of medicine to take, supracid 650mg, releaf forte,
But stop the supracid cause i feel vomiting in the morning as i woke up,also another med algesia 375mg.what kind of medicine do you recommend,she also told to undergo CTSCAN to make sure how big is the stone in my right kidney,need some advice, thanks
Regarding to soda. Either its cola or sprite or the orange soda. What we thought is stones are create by caffaine of cola. So we switch to sprite or orange soda. Am i doing it wrong?
I feel like Jim Carry would do a really good impression of Dr Chan 😃 All funny stuff aside though, thanks for the info Doc. It’s a lot more helpful than they gave me at the ER.
I was diagnosed with kidney stone of about 4.5 mm, it's been 1.5 months but I don't feel any kind of pain, am I still having stone or I might have passed it without knowing???
I doubt that you passed a stone that large without pain. If it just sitting in your kidney you enerslly aren't going to feel any pain. Once it breaks free and travels down the ureter get ready cause your gonna know what pain is, good luck with that. Try some remedies to dissolve it before it travels into the ureter!
Dr. Robert Chan surprised you don't know! ACV is best when it is organic and unfiltered. The so-called mother is the unfiltered particles that are in the Vinegar and settle in the bottom of the bottle. That is why one always shakes the bottle vigorously before pouring. You get the maximum nutritional value thusly when you imbibe it!
Yes, doc! I'm quite afraid of the fact that I develop kidney stones in my system and it can lead to a failure. I super appreciate your effort to educate us on how to avoid it somehow without charge! 😊 God bless you!
I usually go to the website www.kidneystonediet.com to figure out oxalate content. most of the time, they won't have oxalate content on the back of the products.
I drink a lot of non-dairy coffee creamer. Sugar free since I have type 2 diabetes. The brand is “Wide Awake Coffee Co”. I drink regular medium breakfast blend but at night I usually have caffeine free. I don’t use a normal cup I use a travel mug so it stays warm longer so the amount is more than regular cup of coffee. Is this Bad for me? I have had a 4mm stone for a few months already.
creamer is fine to take. it's kind of the same as milk. i think people assume that since they have calcium stones, , they should stop drinking dairy or consuming calcium... but that's not really the case...
I appreciate Dr. Chan making a video to help ppl with kidney stone issues. However, I wish he would have reminded ppl that even though beer & wine do not have high levels of oxalates, alcohol can dehydrate the body, which in turn can contribute to the formation of stones. So as he said, moderation is key in EVERYTHING.
I know im asking randomly but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
Thanks for the info doc. I always drink lots of water everyday.. then i was diagnosed with bilateral renal gravel last month.. I stop drinking coffee, milk thinking it's bad for the kidney stone instead i started drinking a bit hot water with lemon until i watch your video about coffee,milk etc..now I can drink coffee again..just 1 cup a day for me is enough for me..thanks again doc. More power.
@@DrRobertChan I liked medium roasted star buck coffee ☕ fresh ground with honey 🍯 brown sugar or 🌴 palm sugar organic 😋 my dad 👨 likes with white sugar and condensed milk 🥛 he died from dehydrated lung 🫁 cancer ♋ TB
1 cup straight lemon juice in the morning, then 1 cup lemon juice in 10 cups water throughout the day. Rinse mouth so you don't lose your teeth from all the acid.
Nice summary! Glad to hear caffeinated coffee is finally a good thing, as past studies had varied in their guidance! Lemon water is my go to, but looking forward to the occasional coffee now!
Doctor i have recently diagnosed 6.6 mm kidney stone in my left ureter, 12th jan, 2021 my kidney surgeon fragmentated it by using ureterscopy with laser and he installed a ureter stent there for two weeks, i m now taking ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice a day and flowmax 0.4mg at night due to reason unkown to me i m getting hearburn feeling in night which is very painful, what can i do now? for get rid of this scenario..my second question is that before this procedure i often in past years passes kidney stone without having surgery or procedure, but with the help of homeopathic medicine only..does it better to have homeopathic medicine instead of painful treatment of allopathic?
I usually drink wine or beer for stones it also helps more than western medicine coffee seems to aggravate them but I think it’s really just moving the stone same as alcohol minus the numbing effects alcohol has and I crave lemons, lemon juice, lemon water with them which I’ve heard can help dissolve them unfortunately I had to have a stent put in this time because it was stuck half way in my ureter causing an infection that was causing urine to back up in my kidney
Very informative. I just had ureteroscopy to remove a big stone a few days ago. The stent has been killing me because of the unbearable pain. I have several days to go before the doc removes the stent. I love Caffe Mocha. Now I know it maybe a bad thing for me. I have watched several of your videos. Thank you so much.
Hi love your smile and the gentle manner you speaks.I felt so relax it was like chatting with a friend.u taught me a lot and your relax arua remains in my memory. Saying hi from Trinidad&Tobago.

I am having a operation for kidney stones

This is why I looked up his category because I’m passing stones now in it is no joke I didn’t know what to drink thanks for the information.
So what is the best thing to drink
Hi I felt your pain.Ive currently got a few bladder stones,that were not removed properly removed last year.Kidney stones sound very painful.Glad to hear your good now😊👍
I drank like 3-5 cups of black tea. I got the gravels. I’m changing to coffee from now.
That's a lot of tea! Coffee would definitely be better I think
@DrRobertChan Depends on the type of tea and the type of stone.
I have TRIED more than 10 medications for my stone problem..it is a very old problem..
I had more than 12 stones in both my kidneys..
I used WARSTONE DS Treatment and it helped me to relieve at least 7-8 stones from the kidneys,
,still 2-3 stones are left..but still it is BETTER than most of the medicines..
🙂
On a scale of 1-10, how much do you recommend?
Where can you buy "Warstone DS Treatment?"

oat milk is fine. for the teas, black is worst, green is second worst.

How about rice coffee, does it have oxalate content? Is it ok for someone with history of kidney stones to drink?
I don't know specifically about rice coffee, but you can extrapolate based on rice. brown rice is moderate in oxalate level (24 mg of oxalates per cup). ucikidneystonecenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Oxalate-Content-of-Foods.pdf
What about sport drinks, like Gatorade or Propell. They have minerals and salts. Good or bad. Cranberry juice?
Water should be your main source of liquid. Water helps keep the urine diluted of stone-causing substances and flushes the crystals that could become stones. Caffeine is a diuretic and excess vitamin C turns to oxalates (which applies to cranberry juice too).

Any kind of coffee
Coz here I'm drinking Turkish coffee

The so-called mother is the unfiltered particles that are in the Vinegar and settle in the bottom of the bottle. That is why one always shakes the bottle vigorously before pouring. You get the maximum nutritional value thusly when you imbibe it!
Thanks, Doc! Very informative and helpful!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Yes, doc! I'm quite afraid of the fact that I develop kidney stones in my system and it can lead to a failure. I super appreciate your effort to educate us on how to avoid it somehow without charge! 😊 God bless you!
When reading the ingredients on a product, how can you determine the oxalate content? Is it just something you have to know?
I usually go to the website www.kidneystonediet.com to figure out oxalate content. most of the time, they won't have oxalate content on the back of the products.
Thanks for your help Doctor.
I drink a lot of non-dairy coffee creamer. Sugar free since I have type 2 diabetes. The brand is “Wide Awake Coffee Co”. I drink regular medium breakfast blend but at night I usually have caffeine free. I don’t use a normal cup I use a travel mug so it stays warm longer so the amount is more than regular cup of coffee. Is this Bad for me? I have had a 4mm stone for a few months already.
creamer is fine to take. it's kind of the same as milk. i think people assume that since they have calcium stones, , they should stop drinking dairy or consuming calcium... but that's not really the case...
I appreciate Dr. Chan making a video to help ppl with kidney stone issues. However, I wish he would have reminded ppl that even though beer & wine do not have high levels of oxalates, alcohol can dehydrate the body, which in turn can contribute to the formation of stones. So as he said, moderation is key in EVERYTHING.
I know im asking randomly but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@@forrestwalker8729 How about trying a tech site, Sparkie?
Have you heard of alcohol free beer? Lol
Thanks Dr. Chan for this great video!
@@sammiss3804 Of course. But most people want it with alcohol. You don't get a buzz from the non-alcohol.
what does sugar do to kidney stones
Thanks for the info doc. I always drink lots of water everyday.. then i was diagnosed with bilateral renal gravel last month.. I stop drinking coffee, milk thinking it's bad for the kidney stone instead i started drinking a bit hot water with lemon until i watch your video about coffee,milk etc..now I can drink coffee again..just 1 cup a day for me is enough for me..thanks again doc. More power.
Keep it up!
@@DrRobertChan I liked medium roasted star buck coffee ☕ fresh ground with honey 🍯 brown sugar or 🌴 palm sugar organic 😋 my dad 👨 likes with white sugar and condensed milk 🥛 he died from dehydrated lung 🫁 cancer ♋ TB
What about horchata?
is it ok to drink lemonade
Great info
Do you have a cure for kidney stones itself? Or something to drink to help crush large ones?
1 cup straight lemon juice in the morning, then 1 cup lemon juice in 10 cups water throughout the day. Rinse mouth so you don't lose your teeth from all the acid.
Thank you very much for your best information.
You are most welcome
Could you help me in foods also i got my 4 th surgery done

Nice summary! Glad to hear caffeinated coffee is finally a good thing, as past studies had varied in their guidance! Lemon water is my go to, but looking forward to the occasional coffee now!
Absolutely!
He said chocolate drink is no good. How about eating chocolate?

Doctor i have recently diagnosed 6.6 mm kidney stone in my left ureter, 12th jan, 2021 my kidney surgeon fragmentated it by using ureterscopy with laser and he installed a ureter stent there for two weeks, i m now taking ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice a day and flowmax 0.4mg at night due to reason unkown to me i m getting hearburn feeling in night which is very painful, what can i do now? for get rid of this scenario..my second question is that before this procedure i often in past years passes kidney stone without having surgery or procedure, but with the help of homeopathic medicine only..does it better to have homeopathic medicine instead of painful treatment of allopathic?
Great info. But, you take your time giving it to us.
Turn up video speed to 1.25 or higher
Having a 19mm what's the best fruit juice for dissolving it
19MM?!?!?
@@ahmedbaqir9933 1.9mm sorry
I usually drink wine or beer for stones it also helps more than western medicine coffee seems to aggravate them but I think it’s really just moving the stone same as alcohol minus the numbing effects alcohol has and I crave lemons, lemon juice, lemon water with them which I’ve heard can help dissolve them unfortunately I had to have a stent put in this time because it was stuck half way in my ureter causing an infection that was causing urine to back up in my kidney
Very informative. I just had ureteroscopy to remove a big stone a few days ago. The stent has been killing me because of the unbearable pain. I have several days to go before the doc removes the stent. I love Caffe Mocha. Now I know it maybe a bad thing for me. I have watched several of your videos. Thank you so much.
How much did it cost you?
