Looking for advice for best diet for kidney disease

Posted by lilliesmom @lilliesmom, Aug 10, 2025

I am recently diagnosed with stage 3B kidney disease and am trying to compile a comprehensive list of foods to eat and to avoid. I’m finding some conflicting information. Also want to know what the minerals in the food are to limit overindulgence.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Support Group.

Thank you so much. I’ll try to find a renal dietitian near me.
It’s reassuring to know other people have the same problem and look for advise.
God bless you.

The Cronometer app is great for tracking what you eat and drink. There's a free version, but you can upgrade to a paid version for more bells and whistles.

@georgecjh , Thanks for sharing your information, especially the Stem Cell Research. I am new to this site and recently designated as a Kidney Disease

@tenncop Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!

Mayo Clinic's Florida campus has a department that is working with stem cell therapy https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/regenerative-nephrology/overview/ovc-20598871

Also, check with your nephrologist about possible clinical trial you might qualify for. What stage of kidney disease are you?

The conflicting info is a real problem, and the internet is full of hucksters promoting ‘’cures’’….Bill Gates video is pure AI… is there a comprehensive scientific list of foods with #s of nutrients that is a truly reliable guide ?

@nycmusic Try looking at the National Kidney Foundation, or Renal Support Network for their diet plans. You might find a list of foods, not necessarily the actual numbers.
