Hi Ginger,
Thank you so much for the great and important info. I am quite aware of just what to eat (within reason) but I am not always sure how much protein to take in, my potassium runs low (I take supplements) so I have to wait for my labs in September. I wish I could get my numbers more often so I will know how I am doing. I saved the squash info which I will read today. I am sorry to hear about your stage of CKD. It must be very stressful for you but try to stay strong. Do take care.

@nscappa I was able to retard the progression of my kidney disease by following a renal diet long before the doctors told me to! In fact, even when I was at 3A, I had researched and then adopted a sound diet for me. When I developed gout issues, another prong of my diet was established! I like to tell people my allowed foods are apples and cardboard ;)). The albumin level is important for me, and my nephrologist educated me on that as it relates to dialysis and kidney health. As it was below normal, I now incorporate quality protein daily in the form of a shake made with Greek yogurt, almond milk, berries and protein powder. Like you, I am on potassium supplements due to a high dose of furosemide each day [180 mg].

Thank you for your support. It means alot to me!
