7Gut Issues
Kidney stones are probably the most common health issue in those patients with gut problems, such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, or inflammatory bowel disease. All of these conditions would trigger diarrhea, which reduces the frequency of urination. As a result, minerals and waste products will not be removed from the body and accumulate over time to form stones. Also, less urination means more oxalate will be absorbed by the body, which increases the risk of stones in the digestive tract. These digestive issues can change the digestive process and affect the absorption of water and calcium. This eventually increases the levels of stone-forming components in the urine. [7]
