@marylan9 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! As you wander through the different threads here in the Kidney and Bladder Support Group you will see there are different diet discussions already ongoing:
- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/3rd-stage-kidney-disease/
- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/renal-nutritionist/

The National Kidney Foundation has information for diets to follow: https://www.kidney.org/nutrition

Basically, what you want to do is limit salt, calcium, phosphorous, potassium, red meat, and watch protein intake and hydration. Avoid NSAIDS, manage stress, get moderate exercise. And if you are dealing with either of the two acknowledged main causes of Chronic Kidney Disease - high blood pressure and diabetes - you want to be getting those under control.

What stage are you? Do you have any contributing factors to your kidney disease?
