Can anyone point me in the right direction here? I have early markers for Chronic Kidney Diseease. It hasn't been confirmed yet. But the only information I can find would indicate that low carb diets could be bad for it. I THINK it is when they are looking at "high protein" which isn't really keto, but I just can't find enough on it.

This Diet Doctor article may help:

Good article. The author is a practicing nephrologist in FL and a T1 diabetic himself. He also gave a helpful interview on a DD video/ podcast, including keto diets and kidney health.

Also, animal foods are low oxalate, while plants foods might be high. I put myself and DH on a low oxalate diet, (from the book Toxic Superfoods) and raised his "good" kidney number 22 points.

Dana Carpender, low carb author, set up a low carb diet for a friend of hers who was a kidney patient. She kept to his doctor's recommends for his level of protein, and his function improved. I think that's the only real restriction one should worry about.

The rest is literally manufactured food marketing. Which is blanketing the Earth. Nestle sends boats of junk food up the Amazon to rip off the Indigenous peoples who at least didn't have that problem before.

The kidneys doctor I just watched said to limit protein if at stage 4&5. Otherwise a keto and carnivore diet is healing.

Sorry I dont have link for that discussion.if I find it again, will post.

I wish there as a way to LIKE a post because this one is notable.
