@teachaero I think like @maxwell123 suggested, it is best to craft your own diet. I myself am stage 3B, with GFR at 32% right now. Because I also have gout and fibromyalgia, I crafted my own diet. Using resources from rsnhope.org , Mayo Clinic website, and American Kidney Foundation I've have figured out what works best for me. As I laughingly tell people good thing I like oatmeal and apples and cardboard! I do admit that I fall away from the diet every once in a while because total abstinence is a recipe for disaster for me. But I watch what I eat very closely. My husband is a kidney transplant recipient Oct 2016, so he is aware of dietary restrictions from his time on dialysis. He lovingly reminds me as he sees me head off track. In the end each person has to figure out what works best for them and be their own advocate.

I like your post, Ginger. We sure agree! I like to tell people who face this they must learn to “eat to live and not live to eat!” 🙂

I’d love to have oatmeal as an option, but until I see a nephrologist, it appears on the limit/avoid list everywhere I look. I am grateful for summer blueberries and cherries, but winter will be ALL apples! I will have to check out rsnhope.org.
