I read online that vitamin C can prevent and dissolve kidney stones. Searching more though some say it causes them
Does Vitamin C help or hinder? Have you tried this remedy your self?

Started a little over a year ago, when I had my first kidney stone. Was ahwfuly painful and eneded up in the ER…I didnt have another one till 6 months ago. And after the first one they said it was just a fluke thing I wouldnt have anymore….but This past year I have found out that I have pcos and borderline diabetes and border like blood pressure problems, also on going fevers and skin infections, along with stomach/bowel problems. About 4 months ago I started having more kidney stones…one about every other week, some are very painful. Went to see a urologist, they told me to go on a specific diet and start taking calcium with all food I eat, cut out all meat other then chicken and fish and turkey, and up my fluid intake. They did two 24 hour urinalysis scans and they saw my calcium was low in my urine and I am only putting out half of what I should urine volume wise. But I have had atleast 6 stones in the past 4 months, and I am in the process of passing another one and I think something else needs to be done. I believe something else is going on with me and this cant be normal. Can anyone give me some insight or stories of there own? Help

My mom is starting to pass another kidney stone. She isn’t much of a coffee or soda drinker though. What causes a kidney stone and how might we try to prevent this from happening again? The last time she passes one was just over 8 years ago right after she had my little sister. Any advice or information on what kidney stones are would be helpful.
