I so believe what was said about drinking plenty of water. Since I started drinking plenty of water every day, I haven't had any problems with kidney stones, (the year 2000). From May 1995-August 2000, I had 3 kidney stone surgeries and I passed 2 other large stones. (During this 5 year period, I wasn't drinking very much water. I was drinking soda.)
