Hi Craig -- Thanks so much for your response! I will try the juice in the water for the time being as that sounds promising to me, along with increasing my total water intake. I have found that there are actually four types of stones, and that in the past I had one that was rare and of 'genetic' origin. I can't remeber its exact name, something like cytiene, but I remember the urologist specially tested it because it could have affected our kids. Whether this stone is the same, I don't know. I don't know how they will determine what type it is, given that they are going to 'blast' it into millions of pieces but I will ask the urologist on Tuesday. Thanks again for your help!! Cath
Yes, exactly. They have to test the stone (if possible) to see what type it is and then that can guide you on prevention. It can be quite different based on what type it is. Best of luck.
