sounds like she needs to be seen by a urologist.
the biggest risk factor for kidney stones is dehydration. so tell your wife to drink plenty of fluids(6-8 glasses of water a day).
Drinking plenty of water will help to keep the kidneys flushed.
First off,is she on any RX Medications ? There are some that are known for increasing the risk of Kidney Stones,that’s why I ask.
Anyway,as other posters mentioned,fluids are very important,as is the diet.So,here is a very good (and reliable) site you should visit,it even gives daily diet examples for avoiding this issue,hopefully it will be helpful to you,good luck

Eat more high fiber foods, including beans, oats, root vegetables (such as potatoes and yams), and psyllium seed. Bran, a rich source of insoluble fiber, reduces the absorption of calcium, which in turn causes urinary calcium to fall. Risk of forming kidney stones is significantly reduced simply by adding one-half ounce of rice bran per day to the diet. Oat and wheat bran are also good sources of insoluble fiber and are available in natural food stores and supermarkets.
Natural and holistic therapies such as herbal and homeopathic remedies can help to discourage the formation of stones as well as relieve the discomfort and pain associated with symptoms of kidney stones. Herbal and homeopathic remedies can provide an option to conventional medication. Gentle yet effective to use without any harmful side effects, natural kidney stone treatments also address the overall needs of the individual’s health and well-being.
A combination of carefully selected ingredients such as Agothosma betulina, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Melissa officinalis, Avena sativa, Hypericum perforatum), Vaccinium myrtillus, and Echinacea angustifolia provide symptomatic relief. Used in conjunction with conventional medicine and complementary therapy, natural remedies will help ensure that you live a healthier life.
