"Soft Drinks. Cola can severely reduce citrate in the urine and should be avoided. Many soft drinks contain phosphoric acid, which increases the risk for stones. Some research shows that drinking one quart (less than three 12-ounce cans) of soda per week may increase a person's risk of developing stones by 15%. "Originally posted by: ebaycj

I drank about a glass of milk each day as a kid. It had to be chocalate milk though.
I think I would puke if I took a single sip of plain milk. I'm not big on milk or milk products. I don't like the taste or the texture. I hate the smell that develops if you spill even a few drops of it here and there. I think I might be somewhat lactose intolerant too.
I wish it wasn't this way. As such, I now swallow calcium pills like a nut, because I don't want to lose height.
Have fun passing your future kidney stones.
"A high calcium diet does not appear to increase the risk for kidney stones as long as it also contains plenty of fluids and dietary potassium and phosphate. (Increasing calcium alone may pose a modest risk for stones.) "

"Prevention:
Eating a moderate or high amount of calcium-rich foods, such as dairy products. Eating recommended amounts of calcium, combined with a diet low in sodium and protein, may decrease your risk of kidney stones."
