Drinking citric acid can help with kidney stones. The citrate helps stop the form of calcium oxalate stones and reduces urine acidity. According to the National Institutes of Health if you drink citric acid three times a day it helps more than lemon juice or a diluted lemon juice. On the other hand cranberry and apple juice are good for some and bad for other types of stones.
