Veggies that are good for CKD3

@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!

Hi Again Ginger,
Again, thank you for your comments. I know that gout is no picnic as my mother suffered from it. Her foot would get beet red and a lot of pain. As far as cardboard I bought Ritz with a "hint of salt". Oh boy, they are so delicious!! : ( I have not seen a nephrologist as yet but I will soon. Are you telling me that your doctors' didn't give you more information long before??? In my case, I had to see it in my after visit summary. I saw CKD Stage 3 and I was shocked. What is CKD Stage 3? That was, I believe, in 2018. I got info re my GFR (to see what it meant) and it has gone from 49, 44, 49 etc. My doctor was a love (she left the practice) and I asked her why she hadn't told me about the kidney issue. I don't remember her answer but I was very disappointed at that point. Since then I have read so many articles on CKD3 and I have learned what is good and what isn't for me. There are still some questions re portion size. If I ate the amounts that I see I would be down to a Biafra case. I am 5'-9" and I weigh about 154. If I go any lower my pants will fall off so I do need more info. Have you been to a Renal Dietician? Most likely you have. Well, I will end here because I just had a nice strong cup of coffee and when I have that I will just keep rambling on and on. Again, thank you so much for what you have shared with me. I so appreciate it. You take care and keep in touch when you can. I don't check the digest daily but I will look more often. Be safe my kidney friend. : )
