I am wondering the same thing. I was diagnosed June 26 this year, and immediately changed my eating habits. I haven’t eaten anything but the recipes I’ve made off the DaVita Website. Discontinued all soda products and alcohol. I’ve lost 25 lbs. I’m really hoping this will stop the progression.

Hi, @sbshreeve, Good for you for immediately changing your diet to a more kidney friendly one. That is so important and Davita has many good recipes to follow.

When I first found this group about a yr ago, I learned the importance of checking my kidney lab values to see which specifics like potassium or phosphorous for instance needed more attention with my kidney diet. One source that helped me learn to read my kidney lab reports was http://www.kidneyschool.org.

Welcome to this group. If you are like many of us were when first diagnosed, it can seem overwhelming at first. However, as you learn more about your stage and how to better manage it, the anxiety lessens. What stage of the 5 are you? Did your doc suggest a referral to a nephrologist or dietitian? Hope to hear more from you soon. Take care.
