I found this tidbit in the excellent piece offered by jrhanna, ccjm.org "While not diagnostic, certain characteristics are red flags.... Diet. Low fluid intake, excessive use of vitamins C or D, and a diet high in meat and other high-oxalate foods predispose to stones."

keep us posted on the results of the analysis.... i'm very curious to know if the higher level of D was remotely involved My trip to the urologist was disappointing. It turned out that they didn't capture the stone so there was no pathology report. I did ask him about D, though. He said not to take C, D, or calcium supplements. When I raised the point about D being the new miracle substane, he asserted that that has not yet been demonstrated in controlled tests. Apparently "promising" and "emerging" don't count with him. FWIW.
