I am a diabetic lady, just 70 years young! Very fit, but have now learned that I have (mild) kidney disease which manifests itself in too high a potassium content, which I must lower through diet, exercise and ?????
Any help will be gratefully received.

I just read the EmpowHer News article that says ice tea is the worst thing that someone is who is prone to kidney stones can drink (which is my husband), due to the oxalates in the iced tea.

Why is it specifically ice tea and not hot tea? Aren't they made from the same thing? Is it actually more about the quantity of tea? (it is easier to drink a large quantity of iced tea than hot tea). Is there any such thing as tea without oxalates? As the article says, we drink tea because we thought it was healthier than soda, and we get tired of drinking water.

Ok, this might sound weird but I promise that this is true, I just want to find help for my friend. With that said, I've got a friend who is a girl who is about 18. She's got a problem with every time that she laughs really hard she almost pees her pants, when she is really scared or startled she almost pees her pants, yesterday when she was trying to sneak up on me... just crouching to hide behind something was enough to make her feel like she had to pee. It's a joke between us but, I just feel bad for her cause I'm sure deep down it really bothers her.
