does kidney stone cause gas - #18988

Karthik

I am really confused and kinda worried about something going on with me. A couple of weeks ago, I started experiencing some sharp pain in my lower back and on one side, which my doc said could be a kidney stone. Ugh, that sounds scary right? Anyway, ever since then, I've also been having this weird bloating and gas, and I can't help but wonder — does kidney stone cause gas? I mean, I never had gas like this before! I also feel like I'm constantly racing to the bathroom but not much comes out. It's so annoying! I tried to Google if kidney stones could be causing my gas, but I'm not finding any clear answers. I have read a few forum posts, some say it could be related since everything's kinda connected down there? I just don’t understand how kidney stones could be making me feel all gassy and bloated. Like, will I have to deal with this every time I get a kidney stone? Is there any way to know if my gas is indeed from the kidney stones? I'm really hoping this isn’t some ongoing thing! Any thoughts?
