Stage 3 Kidney Disease and Diet: What can I eat?

Would love to have help of renal dietician at Mayo. How did you hook up with her? Here, no
help when it comes to food. Also, no more acupuncturists. All left town. Think they are very
helpful in assorted areas. In addition, person who says X-Ray equipment is outdated is correct.
All kidneys should have scans, MRI's. Part of the problem with that, though, is people with
kidney disease can't have contrast material. That's why equipment should be the best.
Thanks for your insights.

The unfortunate parts of CKD are that there is no cure nor can we be privileged to have a solution that fits all. My goal is to maintain my 3B status and not slip any further. I live in Phoenix where I have access to a Mayo nephrologist and dietitian. I also believe my acupuncturist and my
PCP play important roles, but for me that is individualized. I get labs every 6 to 12 weeks, and if there is a question. I have the Mayo patient portal to contact my nephrologist. For me, my most important tools are the labs and dietitian. In your area. if you can get these tools, I believe it may help considerably. Please also refer to this forum for the excellent diet & food resources both online and in book or pdf form.
