Thank you so much for this list - My husband is newly diagnosed stage 3 - I do the cooking and everything we had been eating for a healthy diet is now on the "Don't List" - your list has been helpful while we begin to navigate this confusing and sometimes contradictory research on allowed foods. Btw, a nurse mentioned this to my husband- have yet to hear from his PC! Definitely switching doctors.

kathe @kathe, I want extend my Welcome to you. It must be a shock and a confusion to learn that the healthy diet that you have been on, is now on a "Don't List". I am sorry that I don't have experience to qualify me to add any dietary input for your husband's new diagnosis. However, the first thing that comes to mind, is to ask you if he is being treated by a kidney specialist (Nephrologist)? or a Primary Care Physician (PCP)? Is you husband scheduled for a follow-up of any sort? Labs?
A Nephrologist should be able to refer you for nutrition counseling to help you meet your husband"s dietary needs.
