Kidney stone: Hi, taking enough calcium in diet prevents Oxalate to build up in body and can prevent Calcium Oxalate stones to be formed. But make sure not to exceed more than 1000mg a day including your diet, try to get most of ur calcium from diet. decease your Animal protein intake.Drink plenty of water, avoid food high in Oxalate and Phosphate.

Electrolyte status?: It is important to know more about why the original stone happened. Is there a metabolic error in how your calcium gets excreted in the urine, or concentrated in the bloodstream? Are there other concerns (i.e. renal disease, hyperparathyroidism) that affect your calcium balance? I would avoid any excess/supplemental calcium for now in favor of a regular balanced diet and more data from past PCPs.
