I don't think Gatorade can cause either kidney stones or gal-stones.
In case of kidney stones, the stones can be crushed by sound waves. I forget if it's high or low frequency. The machine is called a lithotripter.
In Case of gal stones, the gal bladder will have to be removed.

One of the main reasons kidney stones are formed is due to the excess to protein you might be taking but not utilizing. That can come from protein shakes, mixes, or from the food you eat. Gatorade is full of electrolytes, etc, all that is good for you if your body can absorb it. Take the Gatorade and mix water with it, so that your body can absorb it better. And no Gatorade did not cause the kidney stones. Passing the stones is going to be hard, if they are not too far along you can get surgery but if they are in you urinary tract, then you are going to need to pass them through your urethra, and that is extremely painfull.
