Hi all.

I have had kidney stone every year for the last 8 years. some years they pass naturally and some required surgery.

i started making a food journal to see what foods i was eating the day of or day before the pain came and kidney stones appeared.

common food I ate was ALLENS lollies . 3 years in a row. when I ate a full bag of lollies in 1 day my kidney stones would appear. I dont know if it triggered it or causes it. 12 months after my last episode I purposefully ate 2 bags to see if it would do anything. Next day i was in emergency with kidney stones .

I may be wrong but wish to see if anyone has noticed this issue with ALLENS lollies. the red bag. purchased in sydney.
