Veggies that are good for CKD3

@sammyloue Thank you for sharing. It is normal for a person's eGR to decrease over time and age, so you are definitely not alone there. And if you have been reading the posts in the kidney and bladder discussion group, you will see that your experience is not isolated. In my own personal opinion, most general doctors seem to downplay the CKD angle of things. There are quite a number of factors that can lead to kidney disease, including hereditary proclivities, lifestyle, and medication use. For years, when my doctors found out I was following a renal diet, I was told that wasn't necessary, but I do believe that is what kept my numbers from sliding down as quickly!
At your age of 94 1/2 years, you have a lot of wisdom to impart with us.

Thank you. As I have been thinking of my past medications I was taking Triamterene for water that could be accumulating in my ears, due to a hit on the head that caused my hearing to start going down and dizziness. Much later I read the papers that came with the med: said was not to be used long term. The various doctors continued to prescribe it, so I took it for many years. Finally a doctor made me stop taking it. Pretty sure it is what caused my CKD. All this is AFTERTHOUGHT. Oh my, doctorsss! Will they ever get on the same page? Just remembered I have athersclerosis, and I thought it was just the Carotids, but those records I got from the hosital showed I have clogged renal arteries. As I see it I am a very blessed person to live to such a ripe old age with my mind still working.
