I bet tha they aren’t going to the bathroom during school. This concentrates the urine and causes it to back up the ureter. That is what caused mine
If ALL our food is tainted, then there is no such thing as eating well…
If the way you're eating and living causes you to develop ANY disease associated with old age, the way you are living IS NOT healthy.
This is…common sense people, come on 😂
The total dissolved solids in TAP water I am convinced, is a culprit. Home purification systems should be mandatory these days. Also, all those caffeine energy drinks kids love to chug, and /or diets high in fat, sugar, and salt 😢will absolutely not go unnoticed by the body. Not rocket science. What goes in must come out. Albeit a different form, (i.e., stones & MANY other health probs.)
People feed their children such s*** diets
Was the increase in a specific type of stones?
Wow!!!! Kidney stone pain is the worst!!
Millennials must be terrible parents if they can't feed their kids properly. Kidney stones as kids?!
Kid is short for kidney. Coincidence?
"CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD, please know I do not worship any false gods, I worship you. Thank you for everything CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD. Amen."
Please pray this now, pray the words as you read them if you can't look and remember them 🙏☺🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Keep drinking that redbull. It will calcify your urine.
Ultra processed foods (check), extremely hot weather (check), antibiotics (check) …shouldn't be that hard to figure out…
People cannot afford to feed their kids anything but salty food n pop in this joeflation
Yea no sh&’ Sherlock. I’d say it’s been in the rise since like 2006. Kids be drinking soda almost every day since then.
So I definitely believe in climate change, but not understanding how it would contribute to kidney stones in teens? 🤔
I'm in my early 40s and got my first at 19. I get them every few years. Went to a specialist but they couldn't determine the cause. They are very painful. Feel bad for a little kid getting them
I had Kidney stones 10 years ago. It hurt so bad maybe even worse than child birth
My disabled daughter seemed to have symptoms of the flu with some stomach pain. Took her to the ER and she had an abstructing kidney stone in her right kidney. Went septic with ecoli and they put a stent in and antibiotic and a week in the hospital. They had to do a lipotripsy. Thank the Lord she's alright not. Still have to watch the diet.
I experienced Kinney stones once. As a grown man, the pain had me crawling on the floor. However, I was told too much potassium? Which didn't make sense!
Kidney stones are comprised of oxalates and other plant toxins, that's why they're green. Plants are poisonous for humans
“Not to let the stones win?” Lol. If you have one, you ain’t gonna “win” anything. You’ll be laying in the floor writhing in agony. The most ungodly pain I’ve ever experienced. When you throw up due to pain? That’s REAL pain.
I think it is all the cold and flu medicines they take and all the allergy medicine. And all the vaccines they take.
Climate change. Come on.
Just another side effect of the clotshot
Wonder if it is genetic or some kind of injury if it is recurring. Can't be bacteria bc they would have caught it after first round.
Yep. Processed foods, and lazy parents.
Maybe to many plan bs
It’s calcium oxalate!!! Teen girls are told to eat leafy green vegetables and spinach kale smoothies then drink “healthy” almond milk! These are big sources of oxalates. The stones that form are in mineral form known as calcium oxalate. Teen girls are susceptible to body image stress and eat more oxalate rich plant foods as a result. It’s not rocket science!
Stop eating spinach and other foods high in oxalates. The fact were told that these are healthy is pretty absurd
3 place!!!!! FAKE!!!!!!
Read the labels in the supermarket. American stores are filled with high sodium, high sugar, oily, greasy, crappy food. Water is life. World governments have terrible priorities. Climate Change Is Real.
The pain is very much like having a baby! It’s awful 😢
