How do I know that I live in Bavaria?

A trip to the ER for lower abdominal pain. After poking, prodding and some drip pain meds. Followed by blood and urine tests I get a CT scan. Yup. Kidney stones. Done this before. Didn't like the tshirt.
So since they are small. The doctor gives me some pain meds and prescribes for me to drink 2 liters of Weißier today to flush out the offending partcles. Weißbier. I don't like bier so he said I could have cider instead.

Doing fine right now and will be feeling better soon. Hic.😁

Avoid cranberry juice, long touted as a treatment. It actually increases risk of most common stones. eppur_se_muova Aug 2022 #5
I'm glad I live in NRW in that case DFW Aug 2022 #7

Hope it works for you. I like beer, myself, but I like cider too. Maybe I'll go get some beer too. You know, to ward off those kidney stones.

your pharmacy .

This will take a while. Bonus: watermelon helps a lot with hydration and potassium.

Hydration and potassium, I eat it often, especially when it's hot. It also assists in bringing down body temp in heat situations including fever. It's a valuable food.
