I know you are saying that a high calcium diet and no water is what caused the kidney stone but most kidney stones are actually caused by high oxalates mostly from plants. Higher calcium in the diet can actually help prevent kidney stone formation. https://www.kidney.org/kidney-topics/calcium-oxalate-stones https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6459305/
