Not the key: Despite some weak claims about diet, it is not nearly helpful as simply being very very sure that your urine is always very dilute, without fail. Dietary limitations make life much more difficult and are not worth it. Talk with your physician as well

Calcium stones: You have a mix of calcium containing stones. If you have no other medical disease, increase your water intake to 2L per day. 24Hour urine metabolic test needed in 6-8 weeks post stone. decreasing the daily salt intake is the single best step and not calcium. Further changes in diet need the results of the test to determine if you need medications, dietary changes or both
