Split pea soup is generally considered moderate to high in potassium and phosphorus. While peas can be part of a kidney-friendly diet in moderation, you should:

Watch portion sizes - stick to small servings
Consider reduced-sodium versions or make homemade to control salt
Ask your dietitian about specific amounts that fit your restrictions
Balance it with lower potassium foods at other meals
Remember to always check with your healthcare team about specific portion sizes and frequency that's right for your individual situation, as recommendations vary based on your lab values and stage of kidney disease.

Small amounts of vinegar (especially apple cider vinegar) are generally safe for most people with IgAN who have stable kidney function. However, it should be used in moderation as part of a balanced diet. If you're taking medications or have decreased kidney function, check with your doctor first. Vinegar's acidity could potentially interact with certain medications.

Remember: Always dilute vinegar and never consume it straight, as this could irritate your digestive system. Start with small amounts (1-2 teaspoons in water) to see how your body responds.

Yes, having a single functioning kidney can potentially impact your kidney health. With IgAN and a duplex kidney, your working kidney needs to handle more filtration load. While many people live normally with one kidney, it's important to:

Monitor blood pressure closely
Stay well-hydrated
Have regular kidney function tests
Follow a kidney-friendly diet
Tell all healthcare providers about your kidney anatomy
I recommend discussing monitoring strategies with your nephrologist, as they can create a personalized care plan considering your unique anatomy.

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.
