Does anyone have a child with kidney stones? My 9yo son has kidney stones. We’ve been seeing Nephrology for almost 2 years with no change. He is losing way too much calcium and it needs to slow down! He’s been on a low sodium diet since November. That’s been tough, let me tell ya!! We have another appointment tomorrow and we’ll get the results of his last 24hour urine collection we did in January to see if there is less calcium in it. 🤞🏻I sure hope this diet has made a difference.

Thank you!! He acts like we are punishing him with the diet...no pizza, chicken nuggets, Mac & cheese, chips, fries etc. We aren’t trying to be mean. We are trying to help you son!! 🙄 (sodium and calcium bond and leave the body together)

My mom's boyfriend's son (who's basically my little brother) has severe kidney issues. If he eats anything with higher levels of sodium his kidneys can't handle it and his body blows up like a balloon. His grandma took him to the movies once and gave him popcorn. He was in the hospital for 3 days afterwords, and was on a steroid for months trying to get the swelling down and get his levels to regulate. He could hardly walk because he feet swelled so badly. He was so big I almost couldn't get my arms around him and he was only 3 at the time. He looked nothing like himself. It was awful. Having a child that has to be on a low sodium diet is a struggle. I give props to you and hope the best for you LO.
