Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Kidney & Bladder Support Group.

THE COOKING DOC'S
KIDNEY-HEALTHY COOKING
a modern 10 step guide to preventing and managing kidney disease
By Blake Shusterman, MD

This has been a great teaching tool for me.
When no one wanted to help it gave me help.
But in the end it was a kidney dietitian that helped the most. And that didn't happen till I was on dialysis.
So if you can find one I would even suggest looking for one that will do a virtual meeting on the computer.
Best of luck

@margarethill Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It's always great to have member endorsed resources for kidney friendly diets! @dbamos1945 you may be interested in all this, also.

rsnhope.org Renal Support Network offers meetings virtually that discuss diet and recipes. The moderator of those meetings is herself a kidney patient

The National Kidney Foundation https://www.kidney.org/ offers information under their "kidney health" tab

And the renal nutritionists website can help you find someone to assist you https://www.renalnutrition.org/home

Looking at the various discussions here in the Kidney and bladder support group, you will find several that members give their input on diet and how to best help yourself. Most all of us will agree that diet is confusing, can be scary, and is the most important thing to consider!
