Greetings. Eric Bakker. Thanks for checking out my video.
I have a question here from a subscriber asking if you can develop kidney stones from constipation ... if kidney stones can cause constipation. They can't really cause constipation. It's not something that happens. Kidney stones is something that's separate from constipation. 

Both of them can be linked through the problem that some people have with drinking water, and maybe too much caffeine or soda drinks or foods that can contribute to kidney stones. These foods can also be linked with constipation, but I wouldn't say the kidney stones directly cause constipation at all.

I had a kidney stone when I was in my twenties, and it was excruciating pain. It was horrific pain. It was one of the worst pains I've ever had. It was terrible. But yeah, I mean if you suspect kidney stones you need to get medical aid and definitely get checked out. They can do all types of scans and tests to determine if you've got kidney stones or not. 

Kidney stones can be removed from the body, so sometimes people pass them out but the pain can be quite bad. And constipation pain can also be quite bad, and sometimes people can even get those kind of pains mixed up or confused because of location, where kidney stones are in relation to constipation pain. 
But in my opinion, kidney stones don't really cause constipation. 

It's not something that's really linked with. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for the question.
