My husband has just had 4 bouts of kidney stones in the past couple of years. This book was really helpful in letting us know what to do to prevent another stone attack. Thank you Dr. Rodman and Ms. Seidman!
Rating: - Help yourself reduce incidents of kidney stones
If you've ever had a kidney stone, let alone multiple ones, you have probably gotten to the place you'll do anything to reduce the chances of forming more. This book by members of the medical community is very reader-friendly yet very informational. The best thing you can do for yourself is educate yourself on things in the diet which effect the formation of stones, and the importance of drinking vast quantities of water. That may be a pain, but not as painful as a kidney stone!
Rating: - Best kidney stone book I have read.
"No More Kidney Stones" was the best kidney stone book I have read in regard to prevention.
The important prevention ideas include:
1) to drink water late in the day.
2) to eat early and quit eating early, if possible.
3) a list of common medications for prevention.
4) a list of high oxalate foods (some oxalate lists are contradictory on the internet.)
I'm grateful for the book....Robert

Rating: - ...from one who knows...
For any stone former this book should be thoroughly read, highlighted, and PERIODICALLY REVIEWED LIKE A TEXT BOOK to refresh ones memory!!! Dr. Rodman has many excellent suggestions for prevention of all types of stones. If you are a Calcium-oxalate former like I am, may I also recommend the Low Oxalate Cookbook Two as a companion book. It contains more recent research and data which supplements and reinforces these data presented by Dr. Rodman. If you make the life changes suggested by Dr. Rodman ... Read More
