Tips for Staying Hydrated and Avoiding Kidney Stones

Any tips for staying hydrated? For some reason I feel really sick after drinking as much as a tall glass of water, maybe 10 oz tops, for at least half an hour. My urologist stressed very sternly that dehydration is probably the root cause of my kidney stones and that I need to get on top of it, based on the amount of urine I handed into the lab for a 24 hour urine test I did for something unrelated a few years back. I dont want anymore of these little hellrocks building up in me, but I also hate feeling like I'm about to throw up so often.

A bit of fennel seed can help ease the stomach. And really it's not about drinking a lot at once. I keep a bottle with me and take small gulps when I feel I can. I usually go through over a gallon a day doing that.

I'm really bad at keeping a water bottle on hand, and my dp/dr makes it so hours can go by without me realizing, but I will try 😅
