Foods to eat to keep creatinine level down

@kimberlyharris Thanks, you're quite right about meats, dairy, and legumes. And hydration.
As a vegan, I eat no animal products whatsoever - no meat, no dairy, no eggs, no honey, no gelatin. Andt since I have CKD, I'm a vegan whose only legumes are about 1/4 cup mashed chickpeas in something every couple of weeks. I use almond milk but not soy milk and don't use tofu. A few processed vegan items I buy do contain some soy or some pea protein but I've contacted all the manufacturers of the foods I eat for potassium, phosphorus, sodium, and protein content so I know I'm under the NIH recommendations for CKD patients for all of those.
In fact, I'm writing a cookbook for vegetarians who have CKD and diabetes and every ingredient either is kidney and diabetic friendly or in amounts which are kidney and diabetic friendly. When I have the rough draft finished, my primary will review it then submit it to the medical school for vetting. Then it will be free to everyone.
What I don't understand is that I'm doing everything right and I feel great but my labs are crap. Go figure.

Hello! I hope all is well. I stumbled upon this conversation you were having with other members back in 2019. I'm curious to know if you ever finished your cookbook. If so, would you mind sharing it with me? I'm looking for recipes that I can follow for my mother. Thank you in advance!

@kamama94 How wonderful that you're doing a cookbook! Looking forward to receiving a copy; I find doctors to be woefully inadequate when it comes to diet! Hope an answer is forthcoming on why your labs are out of sync!
