Male friend had one, he passed out and bled profusely every single time he passed one and the doctors are now considering surgical removal as an option. He also drank soda in place of water OP 😰

My dad used to get them all the time. Then he stopped taking his centrum vitamin and hadn't had one since.

ETA: at first I was trying to read without putting on my glasses and I thought your username was sexypossum.

I have had them since 18 (that's when I found out anyway), from the old scans I have like dozens of small stones. For years would have a few get stuck at base of kidney before finally passing, or just slowly pass.

Anyway, the main problem seems to have been calcium carbonate, which is in MANY products (soy milk, almond milk, calcium + orange juice, vitamins, antacids, some hot chocolate, you name it). Only had one in like 20 years once I figured that out. I'm assuming they stopped growing and are stable.

It's powdered rocks, maybe it's not the ideal thing to put in all our foods lol.

Yeah that makes sense. I'm lucky I've never had one but I feel with how my luck and health have been lately it's only a matter of time.
