I don't have one yet. I am inquiring here for recommendations. I cannot cook well, my husband was the cook. I am a young widow. So I am needing easy recipes, lists of foods that help with kidney disease, I need specifics, and wanting to know about kidney cleanse drops.

I switched to a plant based diet and found it was helpful with weight loss and helped maintain kidney function for now. There are some free resources on-line and one I follow and have gained so much insight from is the YouTube channel “Plant Based Kidneys” with Michele Crosmer, RD, a renal dietician. She offers many Kidney friendly recipes for free and a lot of great information. I have purchased valuable resources from her as well that have helped tremendously but it isn’t necessary to purchase anything.

I don't think there is a spot-on cookbook. I have used the web to find recipes. Many say your diet depends on which stage you're at. I've been told we can't have watermelon, or 1/2 cup per day and one source, not allowed. For the last 3 months I've been dieting as requested by my physician.
Not hard when we are extremely limited on what to eat. I'm down to 143 lbs. From 174.
I had my first appt. with a very hard to get into Neprologist doctor. First thing he did was to take me off 3 of the 6 high blood pressure prescriptions. I feel so wonderful. No heart racing, inability to sleep, etc.
Someone highly recommended going on you tube where a lady has good recipes for kidney patients. I haven't found her yet but will.
Sorry to be skipping to different subjects, but I will say kidneys are one of the diseases least progressing in medical fields compared to cancer, etc.
I admire people on these posts who are searching for answers. I am hoping RFK will help kidney patients with an accurate listing of what we can/cannot eat.
Blessings to you all.
