@bradninchgirl That is a sneaky thing about kidney disease in general. Our bodies learn to deal with the decline in renal function because it usually is slow. It seems to be only after we are on medications or addressing the issue, that we look back and see we feel better in general. When there is acute decline, due to injury or sudden organ failure, is when we suddenly don't feel good. This is why we need to monitor our lab work and the values.

Try taking a look at this website for finding a renal dietician: https://www.renalnutrition.org/home
Like you, I follow a renal friendly diet. I also need to deal with a gout diet. As my joke goes, the only things I can eat is oatmeal, apples, and cardboard!

I'd think the oatmeal and apples would be sufficient fiber without incorporating the cardboard...Lol!!
