I just joined. I just found out I have stage 3 ckc at age 67. Not sure if a or b. or of my numbers. My eGFR appears to just be below 60 on a chart . I would just like to say I am totally confused by the inforamtion out there about diets and what to eat and not eat. It is Totally contradictory. It is scary to me-I feel like I can't eat anything. Things that I supposedly can eat are unhealthy like white breads and such.
I have picked up a coupe of good tips in just reading a few of your comments. I am not sure if I need a nephrologist or not? but getting a c Cystatin test sounds like the thing to do and to not be too super scared of eating some healthy things that are still high in phosphates etc. ?
From everything I have read , 50% say to eat certain things and the other 50% say not to eat the same things?? How does a person know what the truth is? I have common knowledge and sense about sodium and postassium and refined foods- but I am not sure about everything. Phosphates seems to be in everything. You can't get in to see a Dr for at least 6 months or a year? I am not too sure what to do?
