Hi, I totally understand how you’re feeling! I was a complete basket case for several months. Just ask my family!!
So frustrating.
Thru my seemingly endless research, I did eventually find some useful info/guidelines.
Are your other kidney labs normal?
Mine were. So I have mainly focused on water intake, around 70 oz/day.
Decreased portion sizes of all protein. And practice meatless days several times per week. No NSAIDS except daily low dose aspirin.
I stopped obsessing over my diet. Which was very difficult for me because I’m very OCD.
I do still have the occasional soda, regular, not diet. And a glass of wine or cocktail a few times/week!
I wish you the very best of luck in this kidney journey. It’s definitely not easy and often times made more complicated due to confusing/conflicting info.

@jaki I totally understand being a basket case. I am too since April 9. Everything is good except my gfr and my creatine is elevated. I have been drinking 64 oz water, no more cokes. I have had a funerals and felt like I was killing myself. You know. I’ve been eating broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, salad, chicken, some salmon and tuna in can rinsed off twice! Fruits are strawberries, blueberries and blackberries, raspberries, apples and pineapple. I’m missing bananas for sure. Did you go to a speciality list or nutritionist? I’m wondering if I should. Thank you so much for responding! I feel like I’m totally alone here, but I know I’m not, I just have never known anyone with ckd. Thank you!
