For the second time in one year, Koena Mitra has been bed-ridden due to stones in her kidney.

After the first attack last year, the actress underwent a rigorous protein diet, which worsened her condition.

"Koena is extremely conscious and has been living only on boiled chicken and egg whites. But surviving on a protein diet is harmful for health," informs her secretary Rikku Rakeshnath.

The actress suddenly felt acute pain in her lower abdomen and called for help. "Koena stays alone. Her friends organised medical help for her immediately," says Bobby Darling, who rushed to be at Koena's side when he got to know about the incident.

"She was feeling weak and the doctor had to give her a few bottles of glucose water," adds Rikku.

Koena has been following a strange diet schedule for the last few months. "She has been shooting incessantly and insisted on a protein-only diet. One should understand that the body needs a balanced diet. It's sheer luck that she was at home when the pain occurred," says Rikku.

Koena has been advised to avoid fruits with seeds and sour vegetables. She will have to drink adequate water and maintain a balanced diet for some time now.
