Have you tried the Kidney Stone Diet Plan and Prevention advice from the National Kidney Foundation?
1. Drink plenty of water
2. Cut out high oxalate foods
3. Eat enough dietary calcium
4. Avoid calcium supplements
5. Eat protein moderately
6. Avoid high salt intake
7. Avoid high dose vitamin C supplements

I cut out high oxalate foods early last year after reading up on calcium oxalate crystals which not only cause kidney stones but can also accumulate around joints and soft tissue, causing oxalate arthritis. I follow the National Kidney Foundation dietary recommendations for that reason.

I was taking 2000mg a day of Vitamin C. I had done that for 20 years and fought kidney stones. Last year after suffering that nasty one I cut out vitamin C. I try to drink lots of water. I also add some lemon juice. I limit my salt and do not take calcium supplements. But I dont follow much else on the list. I probably need to. Thank you.
