Stage 3 Kidney Disease and Diet: What can I eat?

My husband's kidneys are functioning at 48% now. We've been doing it by diet alone.
VA is not helping at all. In fact his new doctor tried to up his BP meds with out checking the other doctors reason for not doing that themselves.
See the VA doctors never want to know the past History of our Veterans.

@crazyelf I do believe that this not paying attention to medications and interactions, happens within the medical community as a whole, not just the VA system!
The best way, in my experiences, is to be as much of an advocate as we can for ourselves. In whatever form that might take. For me, it has meant sometimes questioning a prescription, discussion with pharmacist to get their opinion, and sometimes having a frank discussion with a doctor.
