Thanks in advance for your answer. Hello Ross, I have just been advised to check my urine PH levels after a uric acid kidney stone removal. I am finding this quite a challenge it does not help that I am impatient and stress about getting it corrected as at this time my urine ph averages around 5.
What advice can you offer? How long does it take to correct as I have been advised to try and aim for 6 to 6. Thanks Les.

I really want a strict approach to my diet, which I have been, ever since I started exactly two weeks ago.
My pH testing strips still show levels under 7 and not much has changed though once it did reach close 8 on the scale. I understand it varies, but do you think I need to be more patient until I see my pH levels to rise? If there is an opportunity to explain my situation more fully that would be most welcome and any advice you could offer would be very gratefully received.
I have a history of chronic alcohol abuse and I have gone back and forth with it. I have an otherwise healthy diet, with the exception of that. I DID do a gut repair protocol with a nutritionist that was mostly meat based and ate that way for a couple of years.

Would alkanising my diet regenerate my nerves eventually? Thanks for your time Ross. I had cancer when I was 17 and as a result had hysterectomy. I am now 65 and have been dealing with osteoporosis for last 24 years. I was on fosamax for the first 12 years, but stopped and have been eating a more alkaline diet.
A few days ago I woke in the middle of night with an acid stomach. When I tested my urine and saliva they were both at 8. That first day after my saliva remains at 8.

The alkaline diet also forbids coffee, which I imagine would be difficult for people who need caffeine to jump start their day.
