Promises of improved kidney function?

Posted by zeppo @zeppo, Jul 13, 2021

Is anyone aware of the naturopath with Kidney Disease Solutions at Kidney solution.net. ? He is promoting a book and diet that participants say are successful in increasing GFR.

Amu45sin here.
I am sure you are doing what is best for you.
For me, with GFR of 55 and Stage 3, I keep my potassium down to 800 per day and sodium down to 800 per day. Calories at 1,100. So far so good. 80 year old male.

I count everything.
To maintain the low levels I do strict portion control by using a food
scale.
I find the less I eat, the small portions satisfy me just fine.

What foods does your diet consist of?

@georgecjh and @amu45sin I really have to applaud you both for keeping such close records of all you eat! I keep a spreadsheet of all my bloodwork, and a separate book of my daily vitals and dialysis; that's enough for me LOL

My biggest challenges are making sure I get enough good protein into my system. Chicken and fish, mostly, or hummus, hard boiled eggs, a homemade protein shake most mornings. Also, I take a potassium supplement, which is unusual, since most people need to really watch their potassium levels.

I just had my monthly lab work this week, and everything is in the acceptable range, so very pleased with that.
