kidney pain in the morning

I woke up this morning with pain in my right kidney. This has happened before, however, with me it's kinda rare. I stay in pretty good shape and only drink soda/caffeine on the weekends. During the week, I drink plenty of water 80+ oz/day. On my little binge weekends I'll only drink about 20-30 oz of water a day. The kidney pain happened on such a weekend and I had to stop to think about everything I ate and drank. I had 32 oz of soda/caffeine and only 20 oz of water the day before. I think the big reveal for me was the fact that my sodium intake was almost 1000% of the daily recommended. Everything I ate was incredibly high in sodium. I think that, coupled with the low water intake, was just too much and affected my kidney. I think all of us are affected in different ways, however, I'd like to know if anyone else has had this after a particularly high sodium day. Thanks and good luck to all suffering with this.

Thank you Jim for your letter on kidney pain. I'm going to try the Vitamin D supplaments. I eat way to much dairy. I do believe what may be causing my pain has something to do with what I'm eating.Thank you again.

First of all I want to thank all of you for taking the time to post the discomfort all of us seem to have in common. I started having this what I believe to be kidney pain in my lower left side for the last 3 months. I'm 41 years old. Here are my thoughts on this issue?What we all have in common besides this pain is that all of us eat and drink everyday. I believe that the cure is in the cause. What we are eating and drinking is causing our symptoms. I am a huge ice cream eater, I love yogurt and I drink caffeine every day. I drink soda which I know is pure poison. Our bodies need living foods which bring life back to our vital organs. When we vear away from nature we have these health issues. In the book 7 Pillars of health Dr. Colbert says take your body weight divide it by 2 and that is how many ounces of water you should drink each day. So I do that daily.I am fit. I do some form of exercise daily. I think when we do not eat balanced foods or were eating to much of something our bodies get out of balance. Perhaps getting our bodies alkaline which means to get all this acidity from the wrong foods out of our bodies we may all start to feel better. I don't think people should have this kidney pain. I think my eating has created my condition. I see a urologist next month.I'll see what he says. I will get off caffeine and the ice cream today. If the pain still persist after trying out these things I am going to a Chinese Dr. An Irodologist what an Irodologist does is he looks at your eyes and he can see where the sickness is in your body. He will then make you a specific tea for your issue. I am one who believes in chinese medicine. Since I am not a Dr. and I may have an issue is the only reason I'm going to a Dr. But I don't think I'll be really surprised if I'm tolled my body's not akalined and that I have to much uric acid in my body. To everyone please educate yourselves about food. I think food is a lot like taking prescriptions they all have side effects.

Light and Love to all of you

The same feelings in the morning as all of you have, stabbing pain, can't take a deep breath. This has happened on and off now for 3 years or so but just within the last 6 months I have had to urinate frequently and my mid back throbs.

Drinking a little bit of apple cider vinegar seemed to help the first time but now the pain just last for days. When this happened the last time I had a trace amount of blood in my urine according to the doctors. They sent it in and found I had bacteria in my blood.

Something else interesting is that I haven't lost my appetite but my stomach is bothered by anything I eat.

This is very annoying as I am active everyday and can't stand not working out.
