Kidney Stones Prevention
Everyday all my 19 yr old female friend eats is plain turkey sandwiches, donuts, soda, and always at LEAST one fast food meal a day(size med) she is on the skinny side as of now, because she only usually eats once or twice a day…but she has been having lots of abdomonal pain, (lower and back) and just had a bladder infection….she is also constipated and may have IBS..and may now have a kidney infection or kidney stones. I try to tell her its from the food she eats but she is just like no its not health probs run in my family blah blah. Any ideas what to do? I know that diet pretty much affects a person’s health. She thinks vegetables and fruit and water are "yucky"

You sound like a very knowledgeable person on healthy eating and nutrition! Your friend’s diet does not sound very healthy, and is probably the cause of a lot of her health problems as you suspect. As the saying goes, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink." The best way to deal with her is to tell her that you don’t want to hear her complaints about her health problems with the way she eats!

tell her to grow up and take care of herself because you love her damnit!

Then she should not complain about her stomach hurting if she is not willing to eat veggies or drink water. Just tell her to keep the Pepto handy.

well, everybody is different and sometimes you have to push certain people to make the right decision. obviously this young woman is having difficulties straining herself from eating unhealthy food. basically you should try showing her the facts of eating bad food and what it can do to her body. and if that still doesn’t work, try having an intervention with a few people that are really close to her
