A friend came off Dialysis by taking Bicarbonate of soda. I think case related to high acidity. Try one spoon full of powder AM and 1 at PM. Also Apple Cider Vinegar can be helpful.

CUT OUT SODA!!! Soda is EVIL. Diet is even worse with all chemicals! Drink water instead. I WEANED myself with those ICE flavored waters over about two weeks! I do tea as a treat once a day. Rest is water! I only have a soda once a month because usually no other choice some where. LEMONS in water, lemon and magnesium help fight stones! 48-56 oz of water daily!!!
