It was definitely the most traumatic experience of my life. Any woman who ever says giving birth to a baby naturally is worse than the pain of a lodged kidney stone has very obviously never had a kidney stone. I'd take natural childbirth any day (and I'm a wuss who had an epidural with six of them).

Anyway, I did a ton or research and found where magnesium along with B6 taken together aids in prevention.

Glad to see another rec for magnesium, and I should've remembered that B6 works together with it for many things!

This goes along with what other people on here have said: it's the diet.

Clear sodas are fine (7Up, Sprite, Sierra Mist), and may even be beneficial since they contain citric acid.

Stay away from the dark sodas with phosphoric acid.

My father has had 30-40 stones in his life. After finally changing his diet he has been stone free for the past 3 years

I've read organic apple cider vinegar can help.
