My sister’s stones were calcium but my dad’s were oxylate (sp?) He had to avoid anything with that in it. The stones had to be checked to find out which mineral is being stored up and forming a stone instead of being filtered, then you have to avoid that mineral. Everything I would have said about the pain, drinking water, and lithotripsy has been said, but I will second it all. The pain had us in the er more than once for pain management. Sometimes the pain goes away before they ever confirm the stones.
