What is going on with me?

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was pregnant with my daughter over 2 years ago. My thyroid then regulated itself halfway through my pregnancy. About 9 months afterI had my daughter(Feb.2006), I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. In March 2007 I became pregnant with my son and was again diagnosed with hypothyroidism, which I am still dealing with. At 6 months pregnant with this last pregnancy, I found out that I had kidney stones. There were three stones in each kidney that were about 10mm in size and a cyst on my left kidney. I thought that those had broken up and I was passing a lot of stones about the size of small peas. I recently went in for a CT scan to see if any stones were left. I just got a call from my urologist who told me that there were even more stones now than there were before. What could be causing this? I have changed my diet as suggested by my urologist. I do also have a history of kidney stones in my family.

Chain rejection on Kidney Stones?

I’m a kidney stone producing machine and just found out what triggers the deficiency on citric acids and overproduction of calcium in my body.
Urologist prescribed a high blood pressure drug called Hydrochlorothiazide (I have low blood pressure) to reduce the production of calcium and a citric acid supplement I’m really not sure as if I should take this. I have to inject myself with B12 on a monthly basis which I need because I can’t produce it anymore myself and found out that this reduces the citric level. Then I came across Hypothyroidism and wonder if that is the reason for the high calcium production? Does anyone have suggestions on how I should approach the treatment or know about natural ways to get this in control? I do a low oxalate diet and avoid foods triggering my symptoms.
