help my son, please!!!

My now 21 year old son, has had multiple kidney stones for 5 years now. The unusual occurence with my son, is that he experiences kidney pain all the time, even when not passing stones. Per CT scan, he has at least 10 stones in each kidney. My son has figured out that if he eats sugar, drinks caffeine, or eats high amounts of carbohydrates, his kidney pain on both sides increases. He drinks gallons of water everyday as his pain is relieved when he does. His stones have been analyzed to be calcium oxalate. Does anyone have any ideas as to why he has constant kidney pain? Believe me, we know the difference between pain with a passing stone, and the constant dull pain he has everyday. Thank You Jody
