Keto & CKD: Jessianna Saville Unveils Diet Strategies for CKD, PKD, and Diabetes Management

[@CreativeDee]

When I was doing Keto, I told Dadvice TV (James) about it and he was keen to give it a go. I stopped doing it within a year because of the cream and heavy animal protein. I learned later that my kidneys were not coping with it all. I think I needed a Keto Coach. I am fasting, eating vegetables, having sour dough bread, minimizing animal protein. No milk, no cream but have butter now and then. Kidneys are now stable around 15 GFR

One month on keto my kidneys went from eGFR 51 to 41. And this is after I got it up from 41. My A1C is 6.6 and my blood pressure is 120/85. My Creatinine went from 1.59 to 2.19. Living with CKD is already hard. Trying to limit protein, potassium, sodium, and especially phosphorous on a keto diet is going to involve a lot of planning and a lot of restriction. Also there are too many studies on fiber and health. I had a hard time getting in 20 grams of fiber on keto. Now I'm getting 50 grams/day. Show me way to get 25 grams of protein on keto and I might try it again. Since I have low T3 and my bowels are slow I have a hard time with impacted stool on keto.

I have had three different nephrologists and two renal pharmacists. Lots of disagreements. One thing they all agree on, animal protein is to be avoided, ESPECIALLY red meat.

What about cholesterol along with all this, caused mine to go higher

Almond, almond flour, spinach gave me kidney stones for the first time in my life thus labeling me end stage 3 ckd, surprised me.

My medical team is very concerned about using keto as a solution, because lately my diabetes has been so reactive, my blood sugar hitting as high as 500 at times! They are concerned about Ketoacidosis because my blood acidity has been as low as 7.2 ! My nephrologist prescribed sodium bicarbonate... and my digestive system did NOT like it, and my legs began to blow up, after just two days!... I quit taking it. I have neuropathy in my legs, and the experience was very unpleasant. I'm on intermittent fast, trying to switch off from a six-meal-a-day regimen for a stomach condition, which is now under control. Looking for solutions... this is interesting, but my doctors are concerned about what I'm doing now, though it was very successful when I tried it for several months, a few years ago... This is very interesting...

Don’t soups have a lot of sodium

What about ESRD and keto. I know my son needs carbs but I do keto and I can’t go above 30g of carbs so cooking is a nightmare and I hate cooking.

[@pauletteschiowitz8989]
