Just FYI for everyone struggling with a renal diet, as soon as I'm allowed I'd like to share a couple of excellent nutrient-information websites. For now, I can say I've discovered dozens of low-potassium, low-phosphorus food items and several good combinations of them. I'm willing to share those as well but with the caveat that anyone trying them absolutely must clear doing so with his or her medical care providers whether a primary care doctor or a nephrologist or other specialist and/or a renal dietitian. One of my favorites is tortilla pizza which calls for a "strict smidgen" of tomato paste, a little diced onion, a spoonful of pimientos, a (VERY) few slices of canned, no-sodium mushrooms,and non-dairy mozarella-flavored shreds; preheat oven to 350, smear an eensy bit of tomato paste on a flour tortilla, sprinkle with onion and pimiento, arrange mushroom slices then sprinkle "cheese" & bake about 6 minutes or until tortilla edges start to turn golden. 504.6 mg K (24 % DV for renal patients, lower than regular DV) 222.5 mg P (22 % DV for renal patients, lower than regular DV) Yummy! If you like this, feel free to share it. I made it up but you can experiment with your own ingredients.

Forgot to say I sprinkle a pinch of oregano on the pizza before adding veggies, etc. Sorry about the omission.

I also sprinkle a pinch of oregano on the tortilla before adding veggies

i am also a diabetic and have stage 3/4 kidney disease. I was diagnosed 3 years ago and up until my last visit to my doctor I was pretty good. And I just found out my CDK had went from 35 to 32. Any tips on diets would be greatly appreciated. I try to be very mindful of what I eat but to stay on track I need a strict diet. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am seeing my doctor in a couple of days and I going to get a referral for a dietician. Thank you all for your comments and input. It has been very helpful.

I love all your very well researched and thought out information. Newly diagnosed CKD here.
