Leslie- My renal dietician said refined sugar must be eliminated in my diet because according to latest scientific data sugar feeds the kidney cysts and helps them grow. As of March 30th I have stopped eating sugar. She also suggested to choose complex carbohydrates and avoid simple processed carbohydrates. (Honey, cookies, ice cream) She also suggested I try the Dr. Weimbs polycystic kidney keto diet. I emailed Dr. Ron Perrone at Tufts hospital in Mass. He directs clinical trials on diet for PKD. I want to get his wise advice on this keto diet. I’m seeing my own nephrologist in June and get her wise advice also.
Thanks for your encouraging words. It does help. I’m not so overwhelmed.
