Are you getting lots and lots of liquid?  You're not taking calcium carbonate, are you?

It sounds like if it is kidney stones, you're not having pain from them?  That's good.  I hear they can be very painful.

The pain is excruciating. The level of pain my doctor said is related to size, shape, and location of the stone. I had my first one last spring. Kelly is right on calcium, my doctor also warned me about every liquid under the sun excep****er. Lots of water.

Lots of water.  They hurt worse than child birth when they move.  Had one early this year that landed me in the hospital for 3 days.  I have "heard" that 100% cranberry juice can dissolve them if they are not big.
