While excess calcium is a common cause of kidney stones, it is not the only
agent.  If you have not done so, I would suggest you talk to your doctor
about a serum test and a 24 hour urine test to determine the precise causes
for your condition.  Correcting the problem can be as simple as increasing
fluid intake or modifying the body chemistry to prevent certain minerals
from being retained in the kidneys.
