The study will be divided into three phases for every single patient, investigators will study 15-20 stone formers who have previously documented elevated urine calcium excretion, with a plan to measure their urine chemistries at baseline (if they currently use thiazide diuretics, they will come off of their respective thiazide for a 7-day washout period). Investigators will ask them to collect urine samples in two 12-hour intervals: on awakening, the 1st sample starts to before supper; 2nd sample begins after dinner and extends overnight with fasting after dinner, These measurements will be used as controls. Then patients will be started back on diuretics (25mg of chlorthalidone for the primary study; pending the results this may be repeated with 25mg of hydrochlorothiazide as a second substudy) which they will take in the daytime; after a 6-day acclimation period, two 12-hour urine samples will be collected as in the washout period. For the third study period, the patients will then begin taking the thiazide after dinner. After a 6-day acclimation period, the third set of urine collections will be done.
