Is it okay to have caffeine if i have kidney stones?

In moderation: It is important that you drink enough water so that your urine is watery, colorless and odorless. A small amount of caffeine is not likely to do harm, provided you produce enough urine and do not get dehydrated.

Caffeine and stones: Caffeine can promote urine flow - it can dehydrate - so, caffeine itself is not a negative influence as long as your keep overall fluid intake above 3-4 liters per day
