Told I had kidney disease at stage 3

Hi! I’ve been on a low protein plant based diet going on two months now (keto lifestyle previously) and started a sodium bicarbonate tsp with lemon regimen plus upping my water content. Has anyone seen their egfr increase with that? How bout “lymphatic drainage” supplements? Do share!:). Anyone increase their egfr? What did you do?

@dgr8im Greetings!
I have brought my gfr up from 52 to 64 but it took over a year. Also creatinine went from 1.1 to .89.
Mostly drinking 50 oz of water every single day.
NO aspirin, advil or Voltaren. Only Tylenol if I really have to.
NO sodas.
NO canned food (full of salt);
NO frozen food (full of salt);
Low protein. Don't need protein at every meal.
These I find are easily achievable.
I am 75 years old. I don't know if the GFR will hold but we'll see.
