When the hospital doctor discovered she’d been taking high doses of Vitamin D for a long time, he told her that that is likely what caused the kidney stone to develop.

Same thing happened to me

"Same thing happened to me"

My youngest son was using whey protein and ended up with a kidney stone too. I took 50,000 IU of Vitamin D once a week at my endocrinologist's direction, and after some years, he ended up taking me off of it because my numbers were too high. I have an over-active para-thyroid too, that produces more calcium than my body needs. The number for that is always high. Sucks to get old.
