Can Drinking Lemon Juice And Olive Oil Help In Passing Kidney Stones?
Hi Dr. I had a CT scan about two weeks ago. I am a women 55 yrs old. The X ray shown kidney stones and I was in the ER for 4 hrs two weeks ago. I am experiencing more pain and I think the next one is going to pass. Can drinking lemon juice and taking olive oil help to pass it.? Thanks Lisa

Hi
Thanks for your query.
There is no scientific proof to show that lemon water and olive oil will help in passing out of the stone.
What will help is drinking lots of fluids so that you pass 3 litres of urine per day.
Hope this helps
Good luck
