Passing a kidney stone is often described as one of the most painful things a person will ever experience. As many as 1 in 10 people will develop kidney stones in their lifetime.
Kidney stones are small, hard deposits that form in the kidneys when there is a decrease in urine or an increase in certain substances, such as minerals and salts.
Fortunately, dietary changes as laid out in the kidney stone diet can help prevent kidney stones from forming or recurring.
