@golfmama1 Take it on as a challenge. That's what I had to do. For me, always loved a challenge, so it works. But, yes, it is indeed a lot of work. We become good at label reading, or watching numbers. Sometimes we need to modify recipes, or fix almost an entirely different meal from others in the house. Keep reminding yourself this is for your own better health!

As so many of us with kidney disease say, watch for trends in labwork, not just a one-time result.

@i ordered a Renal cookbook & am looking forward to see what I can learn from this book. Currently my efr #’s hv been stable they used to as low as 16. I think diet & exercise hv helped me increase my #’s. It’s encouraging to read other members & what they do to maintain their CKD. Thanks to all.
