Wow, that is strange. I am literally walking around the grocery store with a magnifying glass so I can read labels and compare things. It's enough to drive you nuts. That is s trip that a nephrology team would tell you to eat anything you want except dairy. That would be great. I'm also 3a. Hmmmmm.

With what research I've done and from what my nephrologiest told me. I'm in stage 4 kidney failure with 20% kidney function. They say anything with low sodium or no salt at all. Low protein plenty of water. I'm still new to all of this myself. But still listen to what your nephrologiest says and suggest.

My Nephrologist did not restrict my diet. I think he was happy I ate given all the medical issues I have to deal with throughout my life. I had to go on a very restrictive fat diet about 40 years ago to try to keep my fat levels down. Unfortunately, even after years of no to low fat foods, I was never able to keep my fat levels within normal range. I finally went to a Cardiologist and he quickly determined I was one of those few people who is genetically unable to process fats. He put me on a differnt medication and for the first time in my life my blood fats fall within normal ranges.

I am a firm believer in moderation in all things, including diet. Each person's situation will dictate what they can and can not eat. Finding conflicting information between doctors is not uncommon. Despite what is written here, nobody will really know another person's circumstances. What works for one person may not work for another!

I was frustrated with my kidney specialist & was stage 3b at the time. They told me to just follow a heart healthy diet. Because I had been getting info from the National Kidney Foundation, Davita, Renal Diet HQ as well as other reliable sites, I knew what they were telling me wasn't right. I finally saw a nephrologist a little farther away and what a difference. She changed my BP meds to one that's easier on the kidneys and she told me that I'm currently stage 4. Her recommendation was to go on a plant based diet with very little meat. It hasn't been easy, but I want to put off dialysis as long as I can.
