I don't know, my doctor always stressed water but I guess as long as it doesnt have caffeine or acid, you could try it. Cranberry juice is very bad because of the acid, that is good for bladder infections I think, but not stones. I had to have one lasered..its not too bad. Honestly, I pretty much begged them to do it after a week of pain. I had the same symptoms, sweating, rapid heart rate and high blood pressure, severe nausea, panic.......the experience is traumatizing! If I get the slightest pain in my lower back nowadays, I am terrified it is another stone. I get panicked.

Once it passes and they analyze it, you will know what caused it. Most are calcium phosphate stones and caffeine should be limited. The one bad thing about that type is they can reoccur randomly and once you have had one, you are prone to getting them again. I have had three in my life and dread the thought of another one. Just talking about it is making my hands sweat! It is the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. Childbirth was a cake walk next to a kidney stone.
Good luck and I hope you see something in your stainer soon! : > )
