Foods to eat to keep creatinine level down

Some good news at last. GFR up from 24 in Feb to 33 yesterday. BUN down from 46 in Feb to 26 yesterday. CREAT down from 2.00 in Feb to 1.56 yesterday. Translation: kidney filtration almost back to where it was before extra diuretics dropped filtration rate. Happy improvements in BUN and Creatinine. Creatinine almost normal and potassium normal. Diabetes well managed with test results normal.
So my diet and kidney-friendly diabetic recipes are working! In addition, those of you who have shared with me and offered support are partly responsible for my kidney function improvement. Your encouragement, support and wisdom have been invaluable.

That’s awesome news! I received good news this week too. Creatinine dropped again this time to 2.35 (was 3.90 one year ago), BUN dropped from 41 to 28 and GFR up to 29 (was 16 one year ago). My new Nephrologist says I’m right on the border of stage 3 (have been stage 4 for past year) but is willing to call it stage 3. All the result of a low oxylate diet for the past year and 3-4L of water a day. Transplant discussion is off the table. Feeling optimistic.
@kamama94 Great news! You must feel so relieved.

So happy to see such improved numbers! You inspire me truly to cope with this kidney-diabetes diet thing. Interesting aside: I've had IBSd for over 60 years. Only major change in my diet so far is eliminating flour because of sugar, as in cookies, crackers, etc., and now for a week, no diarrhea! We'll see what happens. 50 years ago, Hearing Institute told me my Menieres was caused by maybe a wheat allergy - thought they meant glutton, but maybe they meant wheat itself. Think if we live long enough, we'll figure it all out!!!!
