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

I have been on a strict kidney diet for over a year. I watch my potassium and phosphorus as well as proteins (35 gr maximum) and sodium. My nephrologist just had my blood tested and I have been too stingy with my intake of potassium. So now he told me to eat some forbidden foods that I love. He told me to eat some avocados, bananas, potatoes and tomatoes. Yum!!! I had mashed potatoes and gravy with a roasted chicken today. I didn’t overdo it, but it was delicious. I went from stage 3 to stage 2 kidney failure. Like you, I can’t digest fiber or fresh fruits and uncooked vegetables. My intestines are affected by my paralysis, so diarrhea is a major issue. I feel pretty healthy though. I am so happy to be out of stage 3.

@darlingtondoll Wonderful news for you to improve from stage 3 to stage 2! When you say "my paralysis" do you mean your legs don't work? If so, it makes sense to me that you would have gastric issues. I believe my gastric issues are, in part, from autonomic neuropathy. Remember being a young child and wondering why the "old" folks always talked about their stomachs and stool? Now we know! Right!? haha
