@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!
Ginger

So kind of you to respond. All of you have helped so much, and I appreciate that, but I'm dumbfounded at the attitude of my nephrologist. Does he figure I've one foot on a banana peel, do you suppose? Anyhow, I've just received word he's leaving our community so it will be interesting to see what his replacement says! Concerned no word from Kamama - hope all is well.
