It's not so much that lack of potassium causes stones. It's more that citric acid itself has an effect vs. metabolic acidosis.

Whether you should actually take potassium citrate and how much is a bit above my pay grade. I'm just pointing out one situation where some degree of metabolic acidosis with a ketogenic diet might result in kidney stones.
It's really impossible to connect the stones to the diet for certain unless you know for a fact that you weren't already developing kidney stones before. You have a correlation for the symptoms, that doesn't tell you when the stones started forming.
