Hi. I think it is safe to fly with kidney stones. The only thing that can happen is the inability to get a plane safely on the ground. I had kidney stones and I was on ESWL treatment. The stones are gone now but I still have to drink water as much as I can and I am taking my calcium pills regularly. Also, I have to avoid food with added Vitamin D. I have to prevent new stones formations.

It is strange that you take calcium when you have had a kidney stone. My kidney stones were all made up of calcium oxalate. Does your urologist know you take calcium pills. They may help stones form
