Kidney stone beer is good - #11897
I am a bit confused and honestly kinda worried about this whole kidney stone beer is good thing. A few weeks ago, I started experiencing some serious pain in my side. Thought it was just gas at first, but after a visit to the ER and a CT scan, the doctors said I’ve got a few kidney stones. They gave me pain meds and told me to drink lots of water, but then I saw something online about how kidney stone beer is good for helping pass them? Like, is that real? I mean, I enjoy a brew now and then, but beer and kidney stones? My mom thinks that's crazy. I often hear people talk about how kidney stone beer is good, but are there actually any scientific backing to that? Someone in a forum mentioned it might help because of the dehydration risk, but then isn’t alcohol dehydrating? I really don’t wanna make things worse or cause more pain, but if kidney stone beer is good like some say, then maybe it could help? Having these stones feels like a nightmare, I really want to do anything to get rid of them, but I have no idea what’s smart or safe. Any thoughts on this?
