I’ve had 3 of them over the course of many years. The fact that I’ve had 3 doesn’t make me good at preventing them. I will tell you that I didn’t drink a lot of water and that my diet was not the best. If these things happen to me every 10 – 15 years, I can’t really tell you that I’ve prevented them by increasing my water intake and modifying my diet, until many years pass. In my experience, I was in excruciating pain for about 4 hours each time, and B”H was able to pass them after that. Best thing to do is to go to the emergency room and they will give you morphine (which will eliminate/greatly reduce the pain) until it passes, and give you intravenous liquids that speed the passing.
