Struggling to eat!
- Strategy
- Patient journey
This is my first kidney stone ever and it’s 5mm. This whole journey started the 24th of last month and I’ve been to the ER twice for severe pain and throwing up. I’m having a very hard time eating, the only thing I can eat that doesn’t make me nauseous at all and actually kind of helps it is pretzels. I can’t keep down Chinese food, apples, and about everything else makes me extremely nauseous. I want to eat meals but I can’t do it. I am currently taking Zofran but it only helps with nausea without eating. Please give me any ideas. Thank you in advance :)

Have you tried taking Zofran
Yes I am currently on it, it helps while I’m not eating but once I eat the nausea comes right back.
Have you tried soups/broth? It gets fluids in you so it helps with moving the stone in addition to calories.
