@lb0530 what about a gradual adjustment to diet ? My diet was already Mediterranean, so I had no major changes…just checked which foods had more protein, salt, sugar, potassium, phosphorus- and adjusted to foods that are more kidney friendly, as I want to stabilize and hopefully improve kidney function…. Fruits and veggies and yogurt help the micro biome, which is important for kidneys…care with yogurt—not the sweetened kind, not too much (dairy must be monitored). I’m finding it doable without eating the most restrictive of kidney diets. But— diet alone doesn’t do it—hydration, exercise and good sleep habits help. Wishing everyone good luck with this ! (PS—- do not take so-called kidney supplements without medical supervision.)
