Hi, Winchester, Also recently diagnosed with Stage 3 and googled CKD renal diets for some good sites. Another really helpful forum of informed patients at all stages of CKD is HealthUnlocked made up of knowledgeable patients at all stages of CKD.

If you scan down on this page to 10/3 there is more discussion about stage 3 diet. This diagnosis can be overwhelming but we can learn to better manage it as we style diet changes based on our renal lab report values.

@winchester and @fiesty76 Welcome to Mayo Connect. This is a great resource for us kidney patients as we continue to navigate the maze of what works and doesn't. I am also Stage 3b , my recent GFR shows about 37.

There is another discussion here in the kidney and bladder group, about Stage 3 and diet
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/3rd-stage-kidney-disease/
I am tagging our moderator @colleenyoung in hope she will combine these two discussions together, so we can all learn more. @kamama94 has done a magnificient job in coming up with recipes and ideas for Stage 3 diets.

@winchester we look forward to you telling us more about your journey, how long ago you were diagnsed with kidney disease and how you have responded to it so far?

Hi @winchester, I'd like to add my welcome. As recommended by @gingerw, I moved your message about what diet is good to follow when living with stage 3 chronic kidney disease to this existing discussion, called "Stage 3 Kidney Disease and Diet: What can I eat?"
