Do you have information about diets good for kidneys?
I’ve been reading up and the general guidelines seem to be to watch the intake of salt, potassium, and phosphates.
I read that whole grains are high in phosphates, beans, and seafood. I name these, because usually this would be items on a “healthy” diet.
I knew dark colas are high in phosphates, and dairy products but I just read so is fast food.
Should I start counting phosphate milligrams?
I read that the phosphates found naturally in foods aren’t absorbed well, so is it not concern?
If I’m worried about my kidneys do I opt for white bread and white rice over whole grains?
I’m going to talk to a doctor about it, but wanted to hear what the collective knows and has experience with. Did your kidney function get better on a specific diet?
Also, what about low dose aspirin daily?
The drug Zetia?
