ADPKD and Intermittent Fasting

@mrainne Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! I do not have PKD, but rather a rare form of an autoimmune condition that is my kidney disorder. Several years ago I was advised to not do keto diets, nor intermittent fasting.
However, i found this article thst seems to support PKD patients like yourself being successful on an intermittent fasting schedule: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8760407/ It is a rather scientific and dry approach to your question; my apologies i advance!
Congratulations for having an appointment with Mayo Clinic in May! I will be interested to hear what they also have to say about diet choices/lifestyle when you see them. As you may surmise, diet is a real common thread of discussion for us kidney patients, and there are so many avenues to research! Do you have any other questioons for me at this time?

Thanks, Ginger! Yes, I read that article and found a few others after I posted this question. It seems the benefit has something to do with Ketosis. I typically eat from 7 am - 2 or 3 pm then only drink water the rest of the day. I sleep better and give my digestive system a rest. I don't think I have an appt. at Mayo in May (misunderstanding). I'm waiting for them to call and give me an appointment. I appreciate your quick response.
