Yes, applesauce can be a healthy substitute in bread making, especially for people with IgAN. Here's why: Applesauce can replace oil or butter, reducing fat content while adding moisture and natural sweetness. This substitution can be helpful if you're trying to maintain a heart-healthy diet alongside managing IgAN. Use unsweetened applesauce in a 1:1 ratio for oil in your bread recipes.

Bright yellow urine usually isn't a sign of kidney damage - it's most commonly caused by B vitamins (especially B2) in supplements or multivitamins. However, if you're concerned, contact your nephrologist. They can do a simple urine test to check kidney function. Keep in mind that healthy urine can range from pale yellow to deep amber, and staying well-hydrated usually makes it lighter in color.

Lemons can be beneficial for kidney health in moderation. For IgAN patients, lemons may help because they:

Are low in potassium
Contain citric acid that may help prevent kidney stones
Provide vitamin C and antioxidants
However, check with your doctor first, as individual dietary needs vary. A simple way to include lemon is adding a slice to water or using it as a salt alternative for flavoring foods.

I would advise against taking Keto ACV gummies with CKD stage 3. Here's why:

Apple cider vinegar supplements can be harsh on kidneys that are already compromised
The magnesium (32mg) needs monitoring since CKD affects mineral balance
Pomegranate and beet juice concentrates may have high potassium levels
Instead, discuss with your nephrologist about safe supplements for your specific condition. They can better assess if any components would be harmful given your current kidney function.
