Thank you for your response. I appreciate it.
My Nephrologist has me on cranberry extract capsules 500mg twice daily. I have an indwelling
catheter with a valve on the end. When it is open there is a direct line into my bladder, that said I use common sense in terms of hygiene and have not had a UTI for several years.
I would see my primary physician for this.
Do anyone eat legumes with CKD STAGE 3a?
For the past several years I have had UTIs one after the other. Finally the urologist prescribed a drug called Methenamine HIPPURATE. It is a preventative and antibiotic. I’ve now been on it for about a year and a half without any infections. With my insurance it costs about $125 for a 90 day supply. But I shop around on the sites such as Good Rx (there are several) and ive gotten it for as low as $21 but usually closer to $50. Still a good price.
I hover between stage 2 and stage 3 and try not to eat legumes. I will if a friend serves them when I am a guest or to try a new dish. It was hard at first because it was a regular source of protein for me, but my doctor wants me to cut down on protein. I usually get a serving of eggs, non-fat Greek yogurt or cheese each day, occasionally chicken or another meat.
