I am amazed at this! We are being constantly told to eat *loads* of leafy green vegetables, and here we are being told that they can cause kidney stones! What is the truth? I suppose the old adage of moderation would apply, but it is surprising, none the less. Dee PS I do hope your poor husband is better soon Lin and I'm sure the good wishes of the group go out to him.

We've spent 4 nights in the ER, with complications from dehydration, vomiting and diarreaha. We've learned much about this problem during this episode. There are 3 types of typical kidney stones and each is unique in what it is composed of. Having a lab analyze your stone is a big plus to knowing how to prevent them for you in the future. There are many foods and meds that contribute to the formation of stones. Of course plenty of fresh water helps in all cases. We were very surprised when a hospital nurse showed us a list of several "culprits" for a specific type of stone. Dark leafy green veggies and brewed tea were high on the list for one of the three types of stones!
