Intermittent Fasting with Chronic Kidney Disease

I am not still using the homeopathics or Herbs as longterm the gains were not maintained.

Will do if I see any info on intermittent fasting. I signed up for the Journal of Renal Nutrition and I get notifications when studies are published. Most don't fit me but interesting none the less. I was Stage 3B and declining every month and was told I was on the fast track to dialysis. As soon as I found out I did my own research and figured out the right amount of protein and sodium for me. Potassium and phosphorus were not an issue for me. I lost about 50 lbs figuring the less blood to filter the better for my kidneys and my creatinine and eGFR stabilized. The difficult part is that reduced the amount of protein I could have further. I found an MD who is into Integrative and functional medicine and he put me on a few homeopathic remedies and Chinese herbs. My blood work from 2 weeks ago showed improvement of over 10% in my creatinine and my eGFR has gone from 38 to 49 over a period of time. Stage 3A now. My Mayo nephrologist is thrilled with my improvement and so is my internist telling me to just keep doing what I'm doing. Wishing you success.

My wife @lisaaase is a member of this group too so I'm tagging her. She had been diagnosed with Stage 3 Kidney Disease (which I understand is nothing near what @m1rmiller has) a few years ago and has been on a mostly grain-free, low-carb diet and mostly one meal a day (OMAD) intermittent fasting. Her most recent blood tests show normal kidney function. She's just one case, but in addition to other health benefits it seems her approach has helped with kidneys too.
