Citrates. I recommend asking your doctor for citrates. My little guy takes them for his kidney disease, and they are for the express purpose of preventing calcium oxalate crystals, other calcium crystals (which most kidney stones are) and other "nephrocalcinosis". If you have repeated kidney stone issues, you might also ask about thiazides which can prevent stones and calcinosis, although the side effects can be troublesome.

Interesting. we are in the midst of working on citrate and thiazide dosages adjustments for my kid, just when this topic comes up. Seems ironic.
