@eirrol Well, the reply I did got lost in the techno-verse - hate when that happens!
There always seems to be differing opinions on the "right" eating plan for CKD patients. Do you have access to a renal dietician, who specializes in kidney nutrition?
I eat a lot of chicken. I use pea protein powder, which works for me, in a shake most days. We do need to watch how much protein we take in to not over-stress our kidneys. Once a person has to go on dialysis, increased protein intake is encouraged.
From the National Kidney Foundation, here is their take on nutrition: https://www.kidney.org/nutrition
From the Nat'l Institute for Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases, here is what they say about kidney nutrition: https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/kidney-disease/chronic-kidney-disease-ckd/eating-nutrition
As for your vitamins, I do use the Rena-Vite tablets as suggested by my kidney clinic. Here is what the label says: Vitamin C 60mg, Thiamin 1.5mg, Riboflavin1.7mg, Niacin 20mg, Vit B6 10mg, Folic Acid 800 mcg, Vit B12 6mcg, Biotin 300mcg, Pantothenic Acid 10mg, Calcium 40mg. How does this compare to what you are taking now?

Hi Ginger, I really thank you for telling me about the pea protein powder. I will try to get that . I don’t do the shakes but maybe I can sprinkle it on something or dissolve the amount I need in a bit of broth or water and pour over my food.
Yep, I eat a lot of chicken,too. I bake or roast it all,without skin or bone but sometimes feel I am losing out on the nutrition ,especially from not cooking bone. Also make chicken salad, chicken noodle stew,or use apple cider vinegar and a bit of hot pepper to make barbecue chicken. I cooked turkey breast for Christmas.
Yes, your Rena-vite did leave out the vitamins I did not want to take , like A, K, E, and D. I liked the dosages on most of the Rena-bite but was concerned about the B6 amount of 10mg which is double of what I have read and because I am concerned about B6 toxicity causing neuropathy. Maybe I could just take this every other day.
So much good information. Thank you.
