Stage 3 kidney disease
Does anyone have any idea how I should be eating with my illness? I know about the salt intake. But what else? I've heard conflicting reports.
Thank you very much for you advice. I am hoping that with my insurance that I will be able to get to speak with a nutritionist. I am keeping track of my calories and carbs. I eat very little salt. I eat very little fats. I hardly ever eat any friend foods, and very little red meat. my last blood tests were very good according to the doctor and the copy that I have.
