I have had my share of kidney stones over the years including a massive episode
2 years ago of passing several.

I am firmly convinced that my episode 2 years ago (I passed about 5) was caused
because I was on a powerful and yucky drug called Tegretol (which I was taking
for Trigeminal Neuralgia),

http://www.tna-support.org/

which threw my electrolytes off balance, although the docs pooh-pooh this..

That was my first episode in many years, and it has stopped since I had brain
surgery to cure the TN and am off the drug.

Previous to that, I had kidney stones in my 20's and 30's. I have currently
been told that the single best prevention is lots and lots of hydration, and
that what you eat is much lesser significance (mine are also calcium oxalate).

At one time I was taking two Potassium Phosphate (KPhos) tablets daily, but now
that is dismissed as hogwash!

So, the docs tell me - drink and drink to prevent.

I do notice that on this web site

that they recommend reducing CA intake!
