What Foods Can I Eat With Kidney Disease

The cats out of the bag... We have been taught wrong for generations in fact everything we learned or should I say indoctrinated into believing is ass backwards from the truth. Sugars and carbohydrates are the problem period. Grains, breads, rice, pasta, beans, seed oils and cereals are causing the inflammation that's causing the heart disease, strokes, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease and fibromyalgia just to name a few. Tens of thousands have transitioned to the carnivore lifestyle nothing but red meat, eggs, butter, bacon and seafood. With nothing but water to drink. Type 2 diabetes is completely going away and some have actually got off of dialysis fatty liver disease is also going away. Autoimmune disorders like Multiple Sclerosis and lupus are going into remission. My diabetes went away within 2 weeks from carnivore. My brother in-law and daughter in-law were both type 2 diabetics and they both went carnivore and within 2 weeks their diabetes was gone. Thanks for listening and a Merry Christmas to all.

For stage 4 kidney disease, it's best to avoid herbal teas unless approved by your doctor. Instead, stick to:

White tea (lowest in oxalates)
Green tea (in moderation)
Chamomile tea (caffeine-free)
Always check with your nephrologist about specific teas and daily fluid limits. Avoid any teas with added minerals/supplements. Keep portions small and avoid sweeteners unless approved by your healthcare team.

For dialysis patients with IGAN, frozen yogurt can be enjoyed in moderation, but there are important considerations:

Watch portion size (1/2 cup max)
Choose low-potassium fruit toppings
Skip high-phosphorus toppings like nuts
Consider sugar-free options if you have diabetes
Check with your dietitian about specific phosphorus/potassium limits
Pro tip: Write down what you eat and when so you can track how treats fit into your daily allowances. Many dialysis clinics provide food tracking apps!

Remember: Your fluid restrictions include frozen treats, so factor this into your daily fluid allowance. 🍦

What Are High Creatinine Foods?

Robin6 asked a question 💭
Chris10

I have stage 3a kidney disease. I respect the Mayo Clinic website for the best information. I looked up creatinine and depending what the blood test shows, it refers more to the kidney function and how well the kidneys are filtering blood. Just google Mayo Clinic and write your questions and you’ll see lots of reputable information. Best of luck.
