Diet Sprite: Here's any easy tip. Drink a lot of diet sprite. Why diet? --no calories. Why sprite? Cheap way to get citrates and citric acid which decrease calcium and oxalate supersaturation. Plus the volume increases urine output. Several glasses a day can help. Other rich in citrate drinks can also be used.

Hyperexcreator uric: Your evaluation suggests you may need treatment for your over excretion of uric acid as it may be related to the kidney stones. The calcium oxalate stones may have a central nidus of uric acid and thus the reason to treat this.
