kidney stones...

We don't know the type yet. Actually Calcium Citrate can cause kidney stones in rare cases. I happen to have a rare brain disease (that increases my chances of kidney stones due to the medicine I was on and my shunt) and I am one of those people that if there is a rare side effect or reaction to something I will get it. My gallbladder didn't show up as diseased in all of the tests but I was again a rare case in how it presented. I was taking the Citracal, and my labs are fine with Calcium and will be getting it through nutrition instead. I do have to take a prenatal vitamin instead of a regular multi vitamin as my folic acid levels are low. The only other low levels are potassium (because of vomiting a lot due to kidney stones) and my iron. So the only supplements I have to take are iron and prenatal. My B12 was really high, so I don't have to do that one. 

Lemon water is all I have been drinking lately, so unfortunately for me it didn't help at all. I did have to back off it because I started to get hives from drinking so much citrus (mildly allergic to citrus). My protein stays between 45 and 60 depending on the day, so that isn't an issue.

At this point, if I continue to get kidney stones, then it obviously wasn't the citrate and it may be something else and we will eliminate the next thing. I am used to doing this when I have allergic reactions to food, and we start with what is newly introduced and go from there. 

I trust my Dr who has done a lot of research to be up to date on my rare disease and what foods I can and can't have as a result of it. I unfortunately am not the typical person and can have rare reactions to medicines and certain vitamins. Thanks for all the advice everyone.
