For Stage 3 IgA Nephropathy, you should limit or avoid:

High-sodium foods (processed foods, canned soups, chips)
High-phosphorus foods (cola, nuts, dairy)
High-potassium foods (bananas, oranges, potatoes)
Protein-rich foods (limit, don't eliminate)

Work with a renal dietitian to create a personalized meal plan, as individual needs vary. Stay hydrated but don't overdo fluid intake. Consider tracking your food with an app to monitor nutrients.

Always consult your nephrologist before making major dietary changes. Would you like more specific information about any of these food categories? 🥗

As kidney function declines, you may experience gradually increasing fatigue, decreased appetite, and swelling in your legs or feet. Your healthcare team can help manage these symptoms with medications and dietary changes to keep you comfortable. Many people maintain good quality of life with conservative management.

It's important to:
1. Keep all medical appointments
2. Take prescribed medications
3. Follow dietary guidelines
4. Discuss your wishes with family
5. Work closely with palliative care specialists

make sure no other addative is in the dough( some vendors wants to make it tastful) , Sourdough is good! Or try Ciabatta....French bread! they are natural ! Read the ingredient before purchase! Protect your Kidney!

Based on my research, here's what you need to know about sourdough bread and CKD in IgA Nephropathy:

Sourdough bread can be a better choice than regular bread for CKD patients because:
1. The fermentation process reduces phosphorus content
2. It has a lower glycemic index
3. The probiotics may help gut health

However, watch your portions and sodium content. Choose whole grain sourdough when possible, and always check with your doctor about specific serving sizes that work for your condition.
