So far, 5 years without dairy, broccoli, green veggies, ice cream, chocolate, tea, etc has kept that issue at bay.
Not always fun - I'd love a good Chicago-style pizza and a salad - but better than the alternative !

Drink your water, kids !

you must have Calcium Oxalate stones. There is Oxalate in everything good. Vitamin C is a precursor to it as well. My wife stopped Coca cola (high phosphoric acid content) after three dangerous bouts with stones and 20 years later not one . An acidic urine is bad for some stones but alkaline urine is bad for other types. Glad you are doing better.
