@trishanna Be your own advocate! As @gladiator14 told us, a change in diet helped the numbers in his case. Also @kamama94 and @fiesty76 have told us their changes helped. Even little changes can make a difference. I cut out bananas, oranges, tomatoes, potatoes, avocados, almost all red meat. I drink healthy, limiting dairy to 4 ounces a day [cottage cheese or yoghurt]. Decreasing my stress levels where/how I can.

Please think about changing up your diet now. You can go to Davita's website for pointers https://www.davita.com/diet-nutrition or Renal Support Network https://www.rsnhope.org/renal-recipes-kidney-friendly/ or our own @kamama94 recipe collection in the Stage 3 group discussion in the kidney and bladder group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/3rd-stage-kidney-disease/ [look for her PDF attachment under August 3, 2020 post.

I look forward to hearing from you, hearing your successes!

Unfortunately I hear this more and more frequently from others and not just with CKD but other issues as well as far as not getting any guidance from their doctors . We all must be our own advocates and learn to understand what we are dealing with. But it is important to utilize reputable sites and references as I have seen some very questionable information on the internet.
