By the way, the only fruit she told me to avoid is star fruit. It has a toxin that can really harm the kidneys.

I was told bananas are not good yet another resource stated they were fine
@susangail53 I did the same thing when I went down to Mayo Clinic now I'm not sure what kind of chronic kidney disease you have mine is called renal tubular acidosis it's very rare so I form kidney stones very fast. The more citrus the better because citrus helps to dissolve kidney stones so for me I also drink a quarter cup of lemon juice everyday.
I found what I have to stay away from is like pop I don't drink any pop anymore not even a can of wheat I don't drink any Gatorade I'd stick to water and sometimes I'll drink a vitamin Water and by cutting that out for me has really gotten my number of hospitalizations significantly down I went from like every 2 months to once a year now that I have to go in and have surgery. Aside from that I cut back on my salt because I used to love salt put my sodium levels have normalized my potassium has normalized my my all of my your basic kidney labs they've all normalized just in cutting out pop adding extra citrus and cutting back on my sodium.
They never told me that I had to go vegetarian It is important to watch your protein intake so like I'm supposed to be on a low protein diet but whenever I'm in the hospital they don't have me on a low protein diet the only thing that I've really changed is my sugar intake and my sodium intake because Gatorade is one of the worst things they told me for my kidneys because of the sugar and sodium content in it.
I hope that helps.

Bananas are not good for kidney disease, yet I read that they are…
