Kidney Stones & wine?

[Jackie]

I wonder if wine affects kidney stones, positively or negatively? I haven't a clue. But a week ago, I had a lithotripsy done to break up a kidney stone that is almost an inch big. I have to repeat this at least one more time, I'm told. Arghh.

My MD said that you can prevent kidney stones from forming by drinking water with a little lemon or lime squeezed in. The acid apparently helps prevent minerals from crystalizing and forming stones.

What I'm wondering is whether wine is good or bad. I should have asked the doc, and will next time I see him.

Curious...
