good evening Simonetta, then the diet for those suffering from colic requires a lot of discipline, meanwhile there are herbs that help break up the stones in order to keep the situation under control. It is necessary to drink a lot, away from meals, light water such as lauretana, sant’anna, etc. .. preferably with squeezed lemon juice. then avoid meats and fried foods, cheeses and desserts in general. Well whole grains without exaggerating, limit tomatoes, spinach, eggplant and zucchini, contain oxalic acid which facilitates the formation of stones. Well the integration of vitamin A and magnesium possibly not carbonate (the supreme one) nor the oxalic one. these are only generalized indications but they can already give great results. best wishes!

Good morning Simonetta, as a naturopath you must always evaluate your diet according to your constitution, in a situation of this type you must certainly avoid red meat and pork, milk and all derivatives, eliminate refined salt and use whole-grain salt 5g per day, drink plenty of water in particular FIUGGI both in the presence of stones and / or gravel and in prevention and warm water with lemon in the morning. For further details or information do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Simonetta, I agree with my colleague Cinzia on the topic of ” food discipline ”. For a period of at least 2 months, her boyfriend should be followed by a professional who can help him make a food path suitable for him and with precautions for the prevention of “ future calculations ”. Definitely drinking suitable water, purifying herbal teas based on pilosella, nettle, flue and dandelion and decreasing the salt in the diet, already help a lot!
