cystine stones Posted: 01-29-08 12:11pm


i've had cystine stones for three years now and have undergone 22 sugeries(sp) from shockwaves and cutting into my back(don't know medical terms) and am on three-five types of medications(they change about every two to three months) but, nothing seems to work... i've tried drinking more water and cutting back on some foods that apparently relate... does anyone have a clue on what else could be done?

Look on line for a cystine stone diet or ask to be refereed to a nutritionist. Has your doctor mentioned any medication to possibly reduce the amount stones you are making?
