 Yes, I agree silicon is essential to good health. But silicon in the form of DE is very sharp and that is why it kills parasites.

Yes, but that does not mean it harms our insides, other than the lungs if inhaled.

Can it damage the kidney filters and cause pain as well?

No, it is absorbed as orthosilicic acid not as crystalline silica.

My pain is around the kidney areas. I also feel some pain when I pee.

And again the silica will not excrete in the urine as crystalline silica.  It excretes as orthosilicic acid, which does not irritate the tissues.

Yes, I have kidney stones before and not sure they are gone now (I drink magnesium citrate everyday, which is supposed to dissolve kidney stones.)

Calcium citrate will not dissolve all forms of kidney stones.

I took Stone Free yesterday (a hebal formula for kidney stones and gallbalder stones)which could trigger the movement of kidney stones. But I have taken Stone Free many times before and never have any problem.

Stones move if they are breaking up.

I also found in the internet today some people actually used DE to heal their leaky guts with some success.

Could it be just healing crisis as per the following website? But note this website is selling DE. http://freshwaterorganics.com/detox1.html
Quote “Since it appears to pass inertly through the digestive tract, releasing only a few trace minerals, decide for yourself what dose works well, bearing in mind that taking large amounts may have some very uncomfortable effects. "DEtox "-ing one's system too quickly might not allow enough time for one's metabolism to re-balance, creating discomfort known as a "healing crisis". This discomfort may be nothing more than inflammation caused by a reawakening immune system as it detoxifies and begins to attack previously unadressed chronic infections."

The site is full of misleading and misinformation.  Too much to address.  But very little DE gets absorbed.  And definitely not enough to cause any kind of detox reaction.

Thank you for link to Liver Cleanse, which I think will not help in this case.

The link I posted was explaining why the "liver flushes" with the olive oil and lemon juice do not work regardless.

BTW, I feel better now after stop taking DE yesterday, though I still have flu like symptoms.

I still think that based on the information you have given that a kidney stone is most likely.
