Stage 3 Kidney Disease and Diet: What can I eat?

Cehunt, It is good to hear from you. I knew that you were going to be going to Mayo, and I am happy for the update.
You are on quite journey, both good and not so good things going on. I know how diligent you are about taking care of you. And I admire your determination and your desire to keep on learning more about how to best approach your conditions.
I can almost sense the dizzying merry-go-round / tug of war that you are experiencing currently. I hope that a solution will soon happen so you can continue to get the treatment that you need. It sounds like you are satisfied with effects of the new med. Keep in touch and let me know how this turns out.
A question - If the insurance won't cooperate, what about assistance from the Chronic Disease fund or some similar nonprofit. I feel sure that the pharmacict would be able to advise you where you might make a contact.
Thank you for sharing the information. I just posted it to both discussions.
Hugs

@rosemarya, thank you! You are always helpful and an encourager. I haven’t started the new med yet because of the insurance problem. The pharmacy has not been helpful. They just suggested covered alternatives that the doctor said aren’t appropriate/safe for me. They also wanted to know if I wanted them to fill the prescription and if I would agree to paying out of pocket. I can’t do that. I’m still following my previous treatment plan with unsatisfactory results. I will look into the Chronic Disease Fund. I am also scheduled for follow up with my local endocrinologist in January. She knows me better and has followed me longer than the Mayo doc. I might try to get in with her sooner than January if I continue having such trouble.
