Stage 3 Kidney Disease and Diet: What can I eat?
It seems there is very little you can eat that is healthy for the Kidneys. The web site Davida has plenty of food on it but contradicts what other sources say. Anyone know anything for breakfast, lunch and dinner that does not have any sugar or flour bodies the obvious boring or bland foods good for Kidneys and I’m allergic to sugar of any kind of sweetener and flour. Thank you.

berries are good with oatmeal. I see a dietician and with my diabetes and stage 3 kidney disease i need to cut back on salty foods and also watch the high carbs and animal based proteins. I can say things but in moderation. My nephrologist said. "veggies,veggies,veggies and lots of water is kidneys friendly. I have discovered a food named glass noodles , classic thai food that is good for me and delicious. Plant based foods seem the way to go. Eggs, fish and plant based foods are my go to's.Also apples are among the fruits to have. what we must stay away from is tomatoes, oranges, melons and dried fruits like dates . if you research these things there are also a lot of do not eat things and some can eat things in moderation. animal protein and salt are things to limit or try to avoid .t

8 Reactions@njwrstlr Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You have posted good basic dietary guidelines that so many of us follow! And sometimes we need to also combine a solid renal diet with another diet plan to work with another health concern. It certainly makes it a challenge on a day to day basis.
Good for you for being proactive in handling your CKD. Have you figured out the basic cause of the CKD for you?

2 ReactionsHow would I figure out the base cause of 3a ckd? I am also pre-diabetic.
To add to 3a ckd and pre-diabetes. I have been taking a statin and fluoxitine antidressant for 25 years. All other lab tests are normal. Should i stop the statin? I am 73
@seapen Your doctor is the best place to go to for figuring out the root cause for CKD. Uncontrolled/under medicated high blood pressure or diabetes are the two most common causes, according to statistics. But, medication side effects could speed things along. My cousin had kidney damage from a cardiac medication many years ago. Lithium use is also a known cause of kidney disease. Other factors can be genetic, like polycystic kidney disease, of lifestyle.
What is your eGFR at this point? Have you been referred to a nephrologist, yet?

2 ReactionsStsge3a. I have not been referred to nephrologist yet.
Interesting comment. Today I went to the nephrologist for the first time. Even after a referral it took 6 months to get an appointment. He is very highly recommended. I am 79 years old and EGFR is 44. No diabetes and slightly high but mostly controlled blood pressure. He said cause was 10 years of taking celebrex and age was a factor. I have read alot alot kidney disease and told him I knew about reducing protein, potassium, phosperus and salt.
He said emphatically the only thing to worry about is salt. Hard to cut it down but that is the main thing to keep it from getting worse.
No more margaritas!
