Symptoms of kidney stones are pain on one side of the lower back, in the belly and down into the groin.

Other symptoms include a frequent urge to urinate, blood and sediment in the urine, nausea and vomiting, chill and fever (if the kidney stones cause a blockage and an inflection).

The root causes of kidney stones include a poor diet, dehydration, urinary PH balance, allergies and food sensitivities.

Infections that disturb the flow of fluids, obesity, inactivity, magnesium and potassium deficiency, an inherited inability to absorb calcium properly or to excrete too much oxalic acid may also cause kidney stones.
