are you sure they are kidney stones and not gall stones, i had gall stones (32 of the bleeders!) about 20 years and had to have major surgery although now they do key hole surgery . it was extremeley painful and i was told to avoid alcohol and fatty foods, to stay on a low fat diet. until after i had the operation,but Kidney stones and gall stones have very similair symptoms.

what was the outcome of the scan?

Hi Sue, the result was - no kidney stones.

Basically, her body is in shock from doing a very low carb diet and is craving sugar levels - which is why she has all these strange feelings.

She was on a 500 calories per day for a month and he body is trying to repair itself - there is a word for this but I can't remember now. There is also no medicines or drugs to help either, just getting back to eating properly and having a proper diet again. The sympton the Dr said are very similiar to kidney stones.

So anyone thinking of doing a low carb diet - think again!

I think it is called malnutrition!

Hi Bubbles

Yes thanks...it wasn't kidney stones in the end. Her body has been in shock from the low carb diet she was doing...

Thanks for asking.
