15 Tips to REVERSE KIDNEY DISEASE: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LNma5qX539A.html If you enjoyed this video, please give it a like and share it with your friends fighting Kidney Disease! 🙂
My father was prediabetic, had a history of kidney stones and had stents in his heart. Each of his three Drs gave him a list of foods that he should eat and a list of foods that he shouldn't eat. After cross referencing the lists he came to the conclusion that he could eat eat lettuce three times per week and drink water and anything else would probably kill him. 15 years later, after making up his own diet that is basically everything in moderation, he will be having his 85th birthday next week.
Amazingly I was in ICU 4 times in 3 months. I NEVER saw a dietician or nutitionist. My nephrologist, I’ve fired three, has NEVER discussed my speaking with a dietitian. Im at stage 4 ckd with renal cardio syndrome as well. Had I not done my own research online I would STILL be hurting my condition. People EDUCATE YOURSELF. DOCTORS DONT GIVE US THE HELP WE NEED!!! BELIEVE IT! Your advice is spot on!
Thank you so much for your great comments! It is heartbreaking to me to see so many people in the same exact situation - not getting enough information or support from their doctors. Just yesterday I was chatting with a person who just discovered she has CKD with a GFR of 9 - her doctor knew when here GFR was 49 and never told her. She didn't get a chance to make the lifestyle changes and now faces dialysis. We are our best advocate and information is our power. Thanks again!
This is so sad! I have begged for a referral for a renal dietician...no direction from nephrologist re: dietary concerns....I have to ask for my lab report AFTER my appointment-take it home to develop my line of questioning...doing my own research...being a diabetic with CKD results in opposing dietary needs...make all my meals-no restaurant/fast food items, fresh fruits and vegetables, plant-based foods, organics, little to no animal protein, IF, water/lemon infused water, unsweetened tea, no sugar....when nephrologist gave me a keto handout, I tried it BUT it skewed lab results in the wrong directions
All I can say is thank you. My husband was diagnosed on Friday with stage 4 cod, The doctor was so finalist. , I cried the entire weekend, and stayed in prayer. God lead me to your channel.. Watching your videos has lifted my spirit as well as given us a sense of hope. My husband who is not one to be motivated and follow through with things, watched your video. I am beginning to see a willingness on his part to fight. We are contacting a new doctor. I am researching a dietician and watching your videos each day. Thank you and God bless.
@@valjean2036 Thank you so much for asking. God is Faithful. His GFR went from 17 to 25. He is like a new man. He gets tired easily, but nothing like before. He is thin, but doing better everyday. Thank you again for asking, and thank God for this channel.
@@valeriemorris5335 your welcome....i just happened to read your comment and it made me sad but i was hoping he was doing better.... ❤ so glad to hear and thanks for replying.
Thank you for your work and dedication ! I am a 25 yr old male who lives in california and about a month ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 CKD, my eGFR value is at 18 and I consider myself relatively healthy. I am 135 pounds with an athletic build and I work a full time job where I get average 10k steps a day if not sometimes double that five times a week. My doctor told me that I am not diabetic and my blood pressure is normal, everything else is pretty much normal as well expect for my eGFR value. I do have to admit that I neglected drinking water a lot in my youth and could easily drink soda or juice all day every day. However I have also been vegetarian for the better part of 12 years and have never had any problems with my health growing up. I also admit that I did not go to the doctor for almost 13+ years as well and the reason why I decided to go was because i was having random episodes where i would throw up really bad and get an overwhelming sense of deja vu and DPDR. After 3 years of dealing with these random episodes on and off I decided to go to the doctor and like you said, they were shocked at my result but they pretty much said that there was no cure and that I just had to limit my amount of salt until i got to stage 5. My doctor is also the head of his field in nephrology and pretty much told me that I was going to reach stage 5 and that there was nothing I could do about it and that my only options were to get dialysis, a transplant or live untreated until i die…. i’m only 25 years old and I don’t have children, I live on my own with my girlfriend and i’m honestly just scared that there is nothing I can do… However upon feeling these emotions i’ve found your channel and just felt called to share my story and reach out. I will be having a biopsy soon because the doctors still don’t know what’s causing this kidney problem, they’ve done ultrasounds and they didn’t find any cancer so it’s honestly just very confusing and scary… I’m just glad I found your videos now and THANK YOU SOOO MUCH !!!
@@nouraali4206 hello first of all THANK YOU. not sure if anyone would even read my comment but a kidney biopsy was performed on me back in december and the doctors diagnosed me with C3 GLOMERULONEPHRITIS (C3GN) and said that my disease has no cure and that they do not know the cause of my condition. since being diagnosed i have been drinking nothing but water and staying super healthy and meal prepping all my meals following a renal diet. my condition has not progressed but i was put on the transplant list by having my mom opt to be a living donor for me. the doctors still stand by the same thing they told me at first that i have no other option but to wait until i reach stage 5 and go into transplant or dialysis. it’s been very hard to accept especially because of my age and because i am so healthy but i am doing a lot better now. part of is kind of unsure about the healthcare system in america, it makes me question if different countries or walks of life would have a different perspective on what’s happening to me ? the doctors here just seemed really unsure about my condition and don’t even know what’s causing it so it has been all very confusing
Good advice! I'm a dietetic intern starting my Renal rotation this week. The first things I check are GFR, Creatinine, BUN, Na, K, and P. Ive been getting 2 patients a day and I usually spend a few hours studying my I individual patients before I talk to them. I know the actual RDs have 20+ patients a day so they can probably get pretty generic with their handouts. Good things for me to know!
That is awesome! A dietitian is one of the (if not THE) best resources to help kidney patients improve their quality of live with kidney disease. If you can, check out the live broadcast today at 3pm with my amazing results of using Renadyl for 90-days! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HfjSgnHHb0U.html There will be a live Chat and the founder of Kibow Biotech will be there to answer questions about Renadyl.
Exactly, one phone call from a very young Dietician. She was not a renal dietician, for certain. When I told her I'd be living in my mini an very soon, she had no ideas of what I can eat. I'll figure it out myself with James' channel
Everything you said is so true, my dietitians told me most of these you mentioned. I have only one kidney, had cancer tumor in one and thy removed it. But one year later my criatines where high and was told my kidney is not functionally 100% I was devastated. And had to immediately change the way I eat. You explained well on the different stages so I am on stage 2 according to your counts. You have reminded me to take it easy on beef. It’s better other proteins. And also dairy products. I see my dr. Every 6 months, and do blood and urine tests every time also. I am stable Praise God and like you cheering is not the way to go . As I calculate everything I eat. Like your channel ..... you in courage me. It’s been 10 years being stable . And as you say when your blood works are good it’s rewarding....❤️🌹
Thank you so much for your support! It really makes my day to hear others find my channel and can use my journey to help theirs be even better. Through sharing our journeys we can all help each other to better engage our doctors to give us each better care with a strategy behind it. Glad you are here!
I've recently been diagnosed with stage 4 CKD and have not yet seen a dietician. I'm asked to be referred but heard nothing. When I look on various sites on the internet, even the official ones, they conflict one another especially with proteins and the calcium vs phosphorous challenge. I'm a vegetarian, have been since I was 9 years old - I'm in my 50's now. I read on some sites to avoid lentils and most beans, other sites say they are excellent sources or protein and fibre which we all know and encourage them but with no limits. I'm struggling but your video is amazingly helpful. I'm so glad I discovered your channel. Huge thank you!!!
What you are finding is exactly what everyone finds - new and old info, conflicting recommendations, and the big Kidney sites seem to all push dialysis and transplant instead of diet and lifestyle changes. Check out my more recent videos with renal Dietitian Jen Hernandez - and then do what every you can to work with a renal dietitian. They ARE the super heros when it comes to finding kidney disease. I can't stress that enough. Once you have a good renal dietitian, everything becomes so much easier and less complicated. Here is a great starting place, including links to find renal dietitians: www.dadvicetv.com/rdc
@@DADVICETV Thanks so much for your response James. I actually started to watch the first 40 minutes of your video with Jen titled 'Plant Based Diet For Kidney Disease, Common Mistakes To Avoid & Tips For Better Health. I can't tell you how relieved I feel after listening to Jen's advice, her wealth of knowledge is just what we need. My GFR was at 25, dropped from 80. I've been stage 3 CKD since 2011 caused by diuretics for cardiomyopathy and ended up on emergency dialysis after a heart transplant in 2014. They told me back then that my kidneys will improve but I will need dialysis within a couple of years. Although my nephrology team are supportive, it's like you say, the only way is dialysis and transplant. In less than 6 weeks I've managed to get my GFR up from 25 to 47 and urea and phosphorous levels are greatly improved. Creatinine remains an issue but I am determined to preserve my kidneys and live a life without dialysis for as long as I possibly can. Your enthusiasm and presentation is fantastic and your videos are so informative. Your channel is a God send.
Dear Mr James, Thank you very much for your generosity and kindness in teaching us wisdom of diet for kidney health. I love you. Your advice is wonderful and very helpful for an old man of 83 years You are a very great man. Hameed Jilani. Lahore.Pakistan. 31.8.2019. 4.55 p.m.
James you are such an inspiration to anyone feeling down with lots of unanswered questions. You are full of hope + knowledge + simply delightful. Thank you so much !!! Pls keep the videos coming. Mg in Tx.
I've been watching your videos now for the last two weeks and everyday you share great content that is really really helping me deal with my kidney disease. I recently spent one full week in the hospital dealing with this issue I gained over 30 lb of water on my weight. And I have been struggling trying to figure out how I can get myself back to normal. Device that you shared along with the medication that the doctors have been giving me have been a life changer I want to thank you so much for these videos as they are giving me a guide. I thought it I was eating healthy by drinking orange juice and eating spinach in my salads and in my eggs The dietitian never told me that I shouldn't be eating so much potassium. These small changes that I've made thus far in by eating has translated into incredible outcome for me thank you so much for these videos
So glad you are improving! With the water gain, I had a very similar situation. When my kidneys failed I swelled up so quickly - I cut all additional sodium out of my diet and kept to 1500mg a day. It took a few weeks, but I was able to remove most of the water weight (and fit into my shoes again). No surprise here with your doctor or dietitian not warning you of high potassium foods. The day after getting out of the hospital I went to my Primary Care Physician (PCP) and he pretty much gave me the first GOOD advice. He went over high potassium foods to avoid (bananas, avocados, oranges, etc.), how to shop and avoid excess Phosphorous, best foods for me to stick with during Stage 5 (non-GMO, Organic, make all my meals at home, etc.). He has been the one to help me put together the strategy to get better - my Nephrologist (and all the other "ologist") have just been there to make sure everything is on track, to make sure I'm not missing something, and that there are no other issues (no cancer, etc.). A local deli here has a mom working who has a son with Kidney Disease - she has been helpful when I purchase foods made at the deli to make sure they only have Kidney Friendly ingredients. I also had a local baker who made preservative free low sodium bread for me (I'm now on a extremely low carb diet and don't eat bread). There are so many people around us who can help - most of which your Kidney specialist or dietitian would not think recommend. Keep reaching out and increasing your network of support - it will help you continue to improve and overcome the challenges Kidney Disease throws at us.
I've watched several of your videos, and I am convinced that you know what you're talking about, you don't deviate from the subject and all your info matches. Thank you for your content.
Welcome aboard! I started this as a diary about my journey - my doctor recommended it and told me I would get better and want to write a book one day. I got better (and continue to improve), but I'm not a good writer. I do have an outstanding talking-gene so I continue to make videos as I improve and learn more. This is one of my oldest videos - so make sure and see how far I've come in my latest videos (you may be shocked). I also do a LIVE broadcast with a renal dietitian every Tuesday at 6pm EDT. It has tons of info and we take questions from the live chat! Anytime you see me recommend a product it is because I use it and believe in it - not because I want to make 25 cents hocking something. Always check with your doctor before changing your treatment strategy - and you'll see how I change as I progress. There is no 1 solution for everyone, but there is a strategy focused on your health which has worked for so many. The #1 thing you can do to help yourself is to work with a renal dietitian - they are the super heros in fighting kidney disease. Glad you are here and hope to see you in some of the live shows! Always feel free to ask questions - we have an amazing community focused on living with CKD that helps support each other.
@@DADVICETV i really appreciate that, I just spoke with my dietitian yesterday at my clinic about starting a very strict and productive meal plan, I am 36 yrs old and I've been on dialysis since the end of 2017, I've had enough, it's time to restore my life.
Videos are much needed. I have never seen a dietition. I dure have been getting over whelmed trying to find foods that i can have. Everthing ive eaten my whole life is now on Do Not Eat List. Yuuuck !!!!. Thanks again & God bless you. Keep up the great info- many of us need them. From grandma Katie in oregon
So glad to hear that! I also just uploaded a new video TODAY about the foods I ate during Stage 5 and Stage 4. Check it out for more information on what I did to get me to Stage 3.
Thank you. I am slipping into stage 5 and scared. For 20 years was stage 4. I hope I can turn this around. I don't smoke drink and took good care of myself. Not sure if it was high blood pressure completely.
Thank you so much for your videos. I was so scared by my e-GFR score and given so little guidance from doctors. I'm just waiting to see someone to follow up and it's great to see that I can help myself so much via diet.
I am over 18,000 proteins (Albumen ) leakage level. I read your response to F8 the god and learned of your use of Alpha- lipoic Acid and low inflammation diet. Thank you for sharing! I will discuss with my nephrology Dr next visit.
Yes, yes! I’m looking for a knowledgeable renal dietician with the ability to customize our diet according to lab work now! Also, one who can guide me on cooking methods, including demineralization of foods and show me how to use the diet apps…I’m tech challenged.
I totally agree with with the information shared here. Each patient is different and so what works for me may not work for you. I really feel like doing your own research 🧐 can be beneficial and definitely fresh food 🍲 is best! I do recommend consulting with a Renal Dietitian, but at the end of the day you’re in charge and have to make smart decisions and choices when it comes to foods.
OMG this is exactly what we are experiencing. The dietitian in the hospital just handed up lists. Half was conflicting. Low potasium? My husband has a low potasium and has to take supplements 3 times a day just to keep it normal.
Check out the interviews I do with renal dietitian Jen Hernandez and Jess Saville - lots of great info there. I have discovered that the dietitians in the hospital don't get enough time to prepare for patients, so they only provide the minimal amount of info and it's not specific to the patient. Working with a renal dietitian OUTSIDE the hospital is where the individualized and helpful info comes from.
I had to ask my Doctor to refer me to a Dietitian but I did go online to find out how to lower my creatinine levels to improve my GFR. I have been told so much conflicting information from different Doctors that I took matters into my own hands and did the research myself.
As a diabetic for 25 years, I would have to go to a dietician every couple of years. I dreaded it because they would harp on the same thing (serving size), but not give real suggestions on meal planning. Being allergic to dairy and seafood makes my choices more limiting, and the dieticians couldn't seem to handle that stress. I never went back to the 2nd, 3rd or 4th sessions the doctor recommended.
Diagnosed at 3A. My doctor went over lab results and gave advice on how to improve. My only lows are vitamin D and sodium. Everything else is fine. Im hoping to get toward early stage 2, currently egfr 58 (up from 51, 90 days ago). I eat low carb, no processed garbage.
My doctors never sent me to a dietitian and when I asked for a diet list he fluffed me off. I asked what can I do to improve her he said listen to me you can never improve! Repeat after me, just try to maintain.
You are a inspirational to me...i found out that im stage 3 moderate GFR....I do have Hypothyroidism. but not diabetic. i downloaded your menu and its been 5 days of the kidney diet, ive already lost 3 poinds. i excercise at leat 1 hour of walking. but im always moving around on my feet. Also, my job also keeps me moving as well... feel the difference now in just 5 days..i feel a little weak due to my diet change...but i think its because of the reno diet, i am doing everything you put on that list, the only thing i bought recently was unsalted pretzels because i saw it in your list. how much sould i chew on preztels, im assuming just a few...LOL....In three months im going to my doctor and see what my blood work will result in...my goal is to loose 35 pounds...frrom 215 pounds of eating junk food to 180 pounds. but im 5'8...im whatching my blood sugar..im controlling my high blood pressure as well blood pressure reading..... last time was 135-74.... again, God bless you for being my mentor! i have spoken to many of my family members & friends about you. and they really love your videos as much as i do! i will stay in touch with you...you're my Hero!!!DADAVICE YOU THE MAN!!
Thank you for your support and glad to see the information in the videos helping. I recently made it to Stage 3 and started a modified Keto diet - it has GREATLY accelerated my weight loss. I'll be doing a video with the details and lab results from it in mid-June. I can tell things are better all around - for the first time in a LONG time I can't feel my kidneys. Before they always felt some pain My energy is a lot higher too - if you watch my latest videos you can see it right away. One thing which really helps me with energy is 1 cup of coffee for breakfast (I now only eat lunch and dinner) with a little bit of MCT oil in it. It is known as "Bulletproof Coffee" and can help with weight loss. Just be careful with the MCT oil - it give you energy but also makes a quick path to your lower intestine, so take your time getting used to is and stay near a restroom when you first start using it. You can learn about MCT oil here on RU-vid and always check with your doc before adding it to your diet. Good luck - you can do it!!
@@DADVICETV Thank you very much. I will inform you in August and let you know my numbers. Yes, I have seen all your videos and it's all very crucial to keep those kidneys in check...God bless you my new friend.
I have gotten more information about CKD from you than from the 2 "nephrologists" I've seen in the past 6 years after being diagnosed. I was never told or provided a renal dietitian. I live in NYC. Where can I find a "real" nephrologist?
Eat/ snack on celery every day will conquer the water retention problem. Water from the tap is NOT without additives. MUST use a filter. Your doctor has had 3-4 hours of nutrition classes during six years of medical training ! DIET practitioners have less. See a nutritionist who doesn’t focus on you going on a *diet* to lose weight. Eat vege picked from your own garden. Eat eggs (whole protein) from your own chickens roaming free in your backyard. Never go to the supermarket. Buy produce from farmers market. Eat only food in season. Never eat red meat. No. Cheat Days, just one will destroy all your effort.. drink juice within 15min of juicing. After that, oxygen has caused oxidation which will harm body. If having problem eating bulk vege, put some in blender and drink it. For sweetness, use a few lumps of fig or pineapple is ok.
Another thing people often overlook (there are so many things, but this is one I see a lot in the Midwest) is to be aware if you use a water softener. Just 2 quarts of softened water adds 160mg - 240mg of sodium to your body, which is 10% or more of your daily limit. I'm drinking at least 4 quarts a day, so that could quickly add up to 30% of my daily salt limit (1500mg).
You sound just like me. How confusing on what to eat and so many questions I have, you answered. So many contradictions out there. Thank you so much for doing the homework and making this easier to deal with. I’m going to check out your website today. Thanks again. 😊
Greetings from London, James. I hope you’ve a wonderful morning! I had a question the Chitosan - do you regard that as a better fibre option to psyllium husk? I’ve also read Chitosan can reduce creatinine which is a bonus! How soon before your meal do you take it and did you begin at stage 5? Thank you always and keep shining.
I used to live in Ohio James where you from there? What do you think of kidney restore promoted by a man post Transplant? It’s called kidney Restore, ? Your thoughts he also have those Acacia fiber.
Here is a link to a food list you can enjoy while on your kidney diet (non-dialysis): www.dadvicetv.com/grocery-shopping-kidney-disease - it makes it so much easier to eat for your kidneys and still find lots of variety!
Hi. I've been trying to find a renal dietitian for the past three weeks now but not finding any. I'm finding "dietitian", and when I called a couple and asked if they were renal dietitians they said that they weren't specifically renal dietitians, but can suggest diets for kidneys. That may be good, but I guess I'm looking for specialists in renal diets. Do you think that these dietitians are good enough, or should I continue to look for "renal dietitians"? And does anyone know of any links to renal dietitians in the NYC area?
HI THANKS FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND ADVICE. BUT I HAVE A QUESTION. HOW ARE YOU DOING NOW IN 2024. CAN YOU MAKE VIDEOS HOW YOU ARE DOING IN 2024. THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING.
I’m doing great and my latest videos are in the LIVE section of RU-vid. The easiest way to find them is in DadviceTV.com - the next one is on Tuesday, then the following Monday, plus one more this month with Dr Rosansky.
Just an FYI, I just found out recently that if you have kidney disease, or if you have clotting issues, you may want be cautious about drinking celery juice. Some of my friends swear by drinking 16 ounces every morning, and tried to get me to try it... I checked... A 16 ounce glass of celery juice contains 670 mg of potassium and 99% of the daily requirement for vitamin K. Eating celery is fine but juicing? Yikes!
Very good point!!! It is easy to get lulled into having a lot of something when we know a little is good (or not bad) - but sometimes more is not good. Juicing removes the fiber which helps manage spikes in blood sugar - this is another challenge when juicing high sugar foods.
i do not know how to use excel but was wondering if u could let us download ur excel file so i can see how u keep track and maybe I caan set it up for me after i c what u are doing. it would sure save me a lot of work if i could get ur excel file. just hoping and thanks for thee ideaa . tracking is so hard for me eccel may be the way. u got my mouth watering for a good tracking program. i bought a scale . i ready
Yes - and I now have lots of professionals that come on for hour long LIVE shows (you can post questions directly to the co-host). Check out DadviceTV.com to see all the videos (they are hosted on RU-vid, but the website makes it easier to find them all). I'm over 250 videos and still going!
Great videos. I'm going through the process of being investigated for CKD. It's been a horrible shock but I am determined to fight this every step of the way. I noticed when it comes to plant based protein you seem lean towards non-soy. Can I ask why this is, thanks.
Great question and good that you picked that up. For most people soy is perfectly fine and it can even help reduce inflammation. For me though, Soy causes inflammation which reduces my kidney function and increases protein leakage. I wish RU-vid had a method to go back and edit videos - I never clarified that. The challenge is knowing which camp you fall in - is soy helpful for you, or is it harmful. The best way is with a urine test - get a baseline test done, then eat soy free for a week, get a new test done, then add soy to your diet for a week and get a third test done. Look at protein leakage - if it went down the week without soy and up the week with soy, you fall into my camp and should avoid soy. If it went down the week without soy, but returned to the baseline the week with soy, you may have a little reaction to soy and should limit or avoid it. The hardest part of this type of testing is all of the test. Most doctors don't want to request that many test, and your insurance isn't going to be happy with you either. Over the years I've had to pay for a lot of my lab work fully out of pocket just to get it done so I could have answers.
Oh James they must all be the same. I like you went online for more informative suggestions. My doctors told me to stay away from the Internet there was nothing but useless information there. I disagree.
Popcorn makes a great snack. I purchased a microwave popcorn bowl and pop my own kernels. It cost a lot less and I can then add my own flavoring. I love adding some cinnamon or other flavorful spices. Here is the popper I use: amzn.to/31EKnUv and I buy my kernels in bulk. Popcorn comes out great every time and the bowl is easy to clean.
Dadvice - You & Everyone really need to do your homework about Organic Foods. FYI: Did you know that the majority of pesticides on conventional foods can be washed off. BUT ON ORGAINIC FOODS, they use some seriously toxic chemicals that "can't" be washed off. Also, when organic foods show up at the food inspectors station, almost 1/2 the crop is so highly toxic from the "so called organic substances" that they use for pest control, that the entire crop has to be BURNED NOT BURIED as it's not safe to put back into the soil to feed it. Don't read the parroted misinformation on websites. Contact you local government food inspectors and ask them what department looks after inspecting produce to determine the toxic levels of the pest control substances on the produce, before they allow the crop to pass safety level inspections. Speak directly to a supervisor of that department and not some inexperienced front line worker.
I use a number of supplements - and all for a specific reason and with my doctors recommendation. I take D3 daily and a large weekly dose (the large dose amount changes based on my labs), CoQ10 since I need to protect my heart, ProRenal+D with Omega 3 to help with the key vitamins us Kidney warriors need and the Omega 3 again for my heart, the renal probiotic Renadyl to help my gut health and reduce how much of the nitrogenous waste gets absorbed into my blood stream, a B Complex to keep my energy up and anemia away, vitamin C because my doctor says so and it helps with the B vitamins getting absorbed, and Alpha Lipoic Acid for inflammation (it and low inflammation diet stopped my protein leakage). That is is right now - and each of those supplements is taken for a reason. The amount and some additional ones where recommended by my doctor as my labs were worse. You should also check out this video with renal dietitian Jen Hernandez and I about supplements: www.dadvicetv.com/common-supplements Always make sure your doctor is ok with any supplements you take, and just at importantly, there needs to be a REASON to take them. "James takes them" isn't a good reason :-) Having Anemia IS a good reason to take a B-complex and Iron if your doctor recommends it. I also made it a habit to take labs before taking something and then again in 30/60/or 90 days to see exactly what it did and if it helped. If something isn't helping, I cut it. Good luck!
When I was diagnosed at Stage 5 I discovered I had CKD due to my kidneys failing and causing me to have a heart attack. The first dietitian I saw was no help - she wasn't able to show me A diet to follow, she had conflicting information for my Heart and CKD. Download my Food List from www.dadvicetv.com/grocery-shopping-kidney-disease - it is what I eat to get healthy and has been vetted by multiple doctors and dietitians. I noted the foods to be careful eating for diabetes. This may help make finding foods that fit your situation much easier! Good Luck!!!
That would be a good question for your health care team - they can make certain there won’t be any interactions with medications or know issues with any health challenges you have.
