RE: Non Dairy Coffee Creamer : Kidney Stone Connection?
12 years ago as a life long coffee drinker I was bilaterally attacked with kidney stones. One side passed(you don't want this to happen to even your worse enemy) the other required ultrasonic breakup due to stone size. Interesting that the well respected diagnosing urologist asked "have you ever used non dairy (dry) coffee creamer?" My answer was never until the last year or so. Note: I was in a non scheduled freight operation based at a hotel where we drank the free coffee and used the non-dairy creamer (first time I had ever used the stuff regularly). The doctor said he was asking as he had had similar responses from a number of patients that had presented with stones, but he had no double blind study or anything to support a connection. I have had no susequent kidney trouble as I have taken mine black since! FYI, Bestfwdspd
