soda help in kidney stone removals?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Drink plenty of Beer or Barley water. It is good for removal of Kidney stone.

The problem with using soda (with caffeine) is while the caffeine is a diuretic (makes you pee), there are things in the soda and even the caffeine that can help in the formation of other stones later on.

To get rid of the stone all you need to do is to get the kidneys working over time. But you do not want to add more minerals into the system that could cause the kidneys to make more stones.

So the best thing to do is to get a large mug (like the insulated 54oz ones you can get at a 7-11 store) and fill it with ice and water.

Don't try to drink it all at once. That'll get you really messed with something called water intoxication and it can kill you in extreme circumstances. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intox…

But sip it often. I'd say try to drink it over the course of 4 hours. I assure you that will make you pee several times during that time and with enough volume to help pass the stone along. Also to keep from diluting your electrolytes, eat some pretzels (salted), Popcorn, or sunflower or pumpkin seeds (again salted and in the shell). This will replace the sodium and some other minerals you're going to be passing.

I do know that several people suggest Cranberry Juice and it will make you pee large volumes and at lower quantities of liquid, but it has the problem of being an acquired taste and not everyone can drink it in quantities that will help pass the stones.

I know I sure couldn't.

Hope that helps

My answer is yes and no...
First, do you know what the cause of kidney stones is? Water! Actually, lack of water. If a person lives a consistently dehydrated (lack of water) lifestyle, chances are they will become part of the 24 million who develop kidney stones sometime in their life. Therefore, it is extremely important to drink 8-10 glasses of water each and every day.

With all that said, can you imagine who is not getting enough water each day! You guessed it, Soda Drinkers! People who drink soda (soft drinks) and coffee are more likely to develop kidney stones than any other group. Why? Soda drinkers' bodies are often craving water but soda tricks the brain and body into thinking 'I'm not thirsty'. In reality, their body is slowly shutting down and kidney stones are the result of improper flushing of the bladder and kidneys.

So yes and no, soda does not cause kidney stones. But, soda drinkers are more likely to develop kidney stones because of lack of water.

Secondly, how do you dissolve hard kidney stones? Phosphoric acid (a natural acid) in soft drinks! Let me explain recent research on this natural remedy of kidney stones.
Recently, researchers conducted research on over 1000 men who suffered from kidney stones and drank at least 5 ounces of cola per day. During a 3 year experiment, half the men didn't drink cola; while the other half drank regular amounts of their preferred cola (containing phosphoric acid).

After 3 years, cola drinkers were one-third less likely to develop kidney stones than the men who completely refrained from cola. Researchers were baffled that phosphoric acid slowly dissolved kidney stones and stopped kidney stone formation! This research supports our natural remedy that uses a popular cola and a 'miracle' vegetable to flush your kidney stones.
