My son was diagnosed with IGA nephropathy this year. I’m so happy to find this channel to better support his needs. Although he is in the early stages of a kidney disease, I strive to keep him as healthy as possible for as long as possible by any means possible ❤️
We have d same diagnosis, IGA NEPHROPATHY stage 3B. I don’t know what to eat anymore. Doctor said mine is auto-immune coz I have a healthy lifestyle. I don’t drink alcohol, no sodas, no meat. I don’t know why it happened to me. I’m 69
@@evelynaustria5227I’m sorry this is happening to you. If your condition is an auto immune disease you don’t need to have done anything specific or at least anything you would know about. Auto immune diseases usually have a genetic component that is triggered by something in your environment. It doesn’t necessarily even have to be a long term exposure/situation.
I have kidney disease, I had cancer in one and it was removed. Now the one kidney I have is not hundred percent, I have been stable for 12 years, but found your Chanel helpful. It is just reminding me of certain things, and it makes me aware of what I must do. And your program is not so loooooog and boring.....❤️❤️❤️
I’m so happy I found this channel! I was recently diagnosed with stage 3 CKD as well as high blood potassium. I won’t be able to see the nephrologist for a couple of months. So this information is invaluable! Is there a list you have compiled with the brands of bread, tortillas, and other staples with low sodium and phosphates? That would be so helpful! ,
We're happy you found the channel! We don't have a specific list with brands, but will definitely take that into consideration to make for the future!!
I am so glad I found you. I am stage 3b and told by 2 nephrologists that diet doesn't mean that much. I have followed a diet on my own for a year and felt so much better. Moved to a senior living with no added salt diet meals which is just not enough for me. I will use the water filter with my bottled water from now on. I also am curious about the carbonated water. I drink that with just flavor added nothing else.....at least nothing listed extra on label. I am thrilled with the info you are presenting as so far every video has answered questions that I have. Keep up the good work. Bless you both.
Happy to hear that you have prioritized your diet despite being told it doesn't matter much! It really does make a big difference. Thanks for being here and for the feedback!
I absolutely love the information Michelle & Dr Hashmi provide as a team. I am a NP, but I learn so much from both of you. The information is practical, presented in an easy to understand way and so relevant to those with kidney disease. Thank-you both so much! You are providing essential information to the public & you both are much appreciated.
Thanks Dr! I had a kidney transplant 28 years ago, I am doing well eating plant foods and some fish. I’m 5’ high and weight 103. I would like to gain some weight. I’m 76 and very active practice yoga every day and walking most days. Since a had transplant I stopped eating meat, no one told me to I used my intuition to do what is good for my body. For 2 weeks I have been watched your advice on how to protect your health. It’s. Very interesting and I appreciate very much. Sorry for my English spelling.
Thank you for watching our videos/channel. That is amazing you made lifestyle changes on your own and have been protecting your transplanted kidney for 28 years! Keep it up!
Also, can you do an updated full episode dedicated to essential vitamins/supplements based on each stage? My family has particular interest in this topic for stage 3 where there are no dietary restrictions but energy is already a big challenge. Thanks for all you all do!
Loving your ch. The topic has new meaning due to recent referral to nephrologist and appt. with dietitian next week. You had me running ti check on the ingredients on my corn tortillas: corn,water,corn flour & trace of lime. 0mg of sodium, 25g carbs for 2 tortillas😀 Thanks for all the info, I'm going to have lots of questions for the dietitian... I'm binge watching your videos now.
I have question for Dr Sean. Have you written any books about the kidney problems or can you recommend any books written on the subject for general public.
OK. I'm a lifelong oxalate kidney stone😅 -maker and vegetarian for the past 20 years with a past passion for sugary carbs. Latest 24-hr x 2 urine test summary concludes with longstanding bilateral kidney stones despite reasonable fluid intake and a basically good diet. Of fruit and veg After years of living with kidney and gastric disorders I'm absolutely convinced that IBS and certain bowel disorders; leaky gut for example play a significant role in the making of kidney calcifications Although, blood tests may show no abnormality in Creatinine and protein levels in the kidneys, in much older years weight gain, kidney stones and hypertension can become a bigger problem when the diet is not carefully adjusted. In my early seventies my diet is good, but without sugary carbs, gluten and salt. These three cancer-causing foods are absolute poison in the gut, including weight gain and even inflammation of the joints. I might then suggest thst Kidney stone sufferers are well advised to substantially cut sugar, salt and gluten out of the daily diet altogether. Thank you.
I’m very happy that I found your channel. Both of you make everything very easy to understand, I will be looking forward to your future videos! Thank you 🙏 very much.
Great podcast doctors 👍 Can you please give some information on what foods we can consume when suffering from both type two diabetes and high potassium? Thank you, doctors, and God bless🙏
Love your videos very helpful indeed! I know that people with Ckd are supposed to eat low protein but, what about vegetarian Morning Star products,my food has very little sodium.😊
Most plant based milks , oat, soya, almond etc usually only contain a tiny amount of the base…..they are mostly water and additives….not many people realise this…
Always best to make your own. ALMOND OR CASHEW MILK I cup almonds or cashews 2 cups water Soak overnight or at least 6 hours Throw off that water Now put that soaked almond or cashew in a blender, add two cups of fresh water and blend thoroughly. Strain in very fine strainer. That’s it! It is concentrated at this point. Add enough to your teas or water as needed. Add honey or sweetener if you desire. Store in glass container in fridge. It will last quite a few days in the fridge. Hope this helps.
I'd like to see your views on the studies that show very positive effects from black seed oil supplementation, as well as citrulline malate supplementation on reversing proteinuria.
Interesting topics. Not a lot of research on it. In early 2010's a few studies on citrulline malate. Not enough data yet on black seed oil to recommend at this time. We will look into it for sure. Thank you
I m on a budget also i buy one loaf and put the slices in freezer bags keep in the freezer. Eat 1 slice or cut it in half toast it . The loaf lasts longer and just a smaller portion satisfied my desire..i highly recommend people have freezers especially those who are physically compromised in any way. Very little food waste as i package everything in smaller portions according to my daily needs. Be careful eating alot of the plant based items they sell in the freezer section are full of sodium some with chemicals I can't pronounce. Be blessed.
Omg!!! I'm so confused! I listened to this whole video AND I STILL DON'T HAVE A CLUE OF WHAT IS SAFE TO EAT if you have kidney disease!!!! Can you just make it simple? Like give us a list of vegetables and fruit? That's all ... veggies and fruit because I'm pretty sure meat is a no-no!!!
Most fruits except starfruit and grapefruit. Most vegetables except kale, aspargus. No intestines from beef, pork or chicken. No soda. Filtered water and no sugary juices, sugar and watch your salt intake.
CKD people should eat Plant based foods. Sprouted oats, sprouted vegetables, etc. Basically, NO MEATS or Eggs. Vegan diet. Checkout Vegan diets, there are lots of Videos and recipes for your health. (Ask your doctor, that is the safest way to find out.) 😊

We're glad you're finding the channel helpful! We have a couple episodes on potassium but highly recommend working 1:1 with a renal dietitian to help get your potassium under control. There is a database of renal dietitians at www.kidney.org/ckdrd
Good morning..I am so happy to have found this channel!!! I live in Italy and I have not had all this information, you have opened up a whole new world for me!! I have a thousand questions but I will only ask one..I have been on a plant based diet for years now..apart from kidney problems I also suffer from ibs...that's why I became vegan after being a vegetarian..I was watching another video and it was talking about oxalates, which come from vegetables and its very dangerous for who is following a plant based diet and that have kidney problems..I am so worried now!! I'm terrified about what I should eat..my question is... Is it dangerous to follow a plant based diet if we can damage even more our kidneys from the oxalates in vegetables? I'm so confused and scared..it would be lovely to have a video on this subject Thank you so much.
Hello! Thanks for tuning into our channel! We do have another short video on oxalates, but will have more soon! A healthy kidney diet should always be individualized. Some people may need lower oxalates, and some may not. For people who do need to limit oxalates, usually avoiding/limiting the very highest oxalate foods is enough (spinach, rhubarb, raspberries, beets, almonds). There are still TONS of whole, plant based foods that aren't extremely high in oxalates.
This was shocking to me: BRITA water filters has just been sued because of there claim to filtering is said to be false. In other words its not filtering the way they claim. Please look into this if you would.
I have a reverse osmosis (RO) system in my home but I bought a cartridge with minerals that is attached to my RO system. Should I remove that cartridge and drink only either RO water? Is distilled water better to drink with kidney disease?
I was enjoying flavored waters until I read the label and saw the phosphorus added. So now if I flavor my water I use cucumber, lemon, lime, mint or even just a small amount of vanilla.
Can you take a little bit of calcium supplement - like 125 mg or so with your oxalate food, whether it's tea or leafy vegetables, in order to prevent the formation of stones?
Calcium from food sources is preferred over calcium supplements for stone formers. I would check out www.thekidneydietitian.org for a bunch of stone, oxalate, calcium specific information!
Hi dr. Hashmi I like to know if we can talk about people with already on dialysis and what to eat what not to eat because I have a situation with the protein very low three-point in my body so what do I have to heat do to improve my kidney problem so please talk about more people already on dialysis thank you so much
Some great higher potassium fruits and veggies are: avocado, mano, banana, brussels sprouts, artichokes, kiwi. Legumes and quinoa are moderate-high in potassium as well :)
Is it ok to drink alkaline waters like SmartWater and LifeWater that also have electrolytes and/or bicarbonate added per their labels@Plant Based Kidney Health??
I have to take 15g of Lokelma daily, I felt like at first it wasn't working because it was absorbing all the potassium out of the water I was mixing it with. Now I mix it using Aquafina because it's the only water that says it doesn't add anything to it's water. I love potatoes, mangos, bananas, pineapples.... Basically all the fruits that are high in potassium. My doctor says I can't eat it and said I should try an apple instead but I find them boring not very flavorful.
I'm preparing food for my wife: CKD, diabetes, vascular dementia, & very picky eater. I've found that apples that are ripe, (I condition them in a brown paper bag for several days), then quarter & slice into thin slices of 1/8 inch or thinner, she will eat peel and all! Fugi, Gala, and Golden Delishious are her favorites. I have a number of colorful 6 oz cups that I serve in that ads a little variety & flair. Good luck.
@@garybates903 thanks for the advice, I'll have to try that with the apples. Currently found Bartlett pears at walmart but I have to let them sit for several days to ripen to the point that they are super juicy before I can eat them.
I work with municipalities on test city water....um no I'm not drinking city water the amount of particulates are way to high. I only drink reverse osmosis water
Thank you so much for your informative videos😄 I realise that kefir is a dairy product but I wondered if the phosphorus content is in any way effected by the fermentation process?
Thank you for your reply May be we have to avoid it because it is the hardest mineral to control inspire of all the drugs Now we are plant based I’m sure it will help 🙏
Good evening doctor hashmi . Could my blood pressure medication lisinopril be the cuse of my kidney problem. It started at the same time started taking it for bp month later my gfr started to deteriorate.
In your discussion of teas, it sounds like you were referring to various forms of green tea, which contain caffeine. How about non-caffeinated herbal teas? I ask because I drink hawthorn and hibiscus tea. A related question is that I have an overactive bladder & I can't drink 1 to 2 liters of water (as Dr. Hashmi suggests) or I will be peeing all day & night.
Basically, Plant based is safer than animal based foods. Someone like me who doesn't have severe kidney disease, I still eat meat, on occasion ,but have a lot of grains and vegetables with that meal.
I’m with you I think that would be a good suggestion. I don’t even know if they read these questions. I’m new to this channel, but I don’t see answers from previous comments Aloha from Hawaii.
Drinking tea … there are online posts about what’s best to lower creatinine. Please speak to this. Those posts say chamomile or green tea or nettle leaf are best. What do you both say?
What causes low potassium? I get heart flutters when I am low and it's scary sometimes. What is causing this? High protein? I know flaxseed oil helps reduce C-reactive protein. Is that Creatine? Mine is a little high.
Hello👋😎, usually the first meal of my day consist of, Costco organic plain Greek yogurt, some crushed pecan halves, sliced strawberries, and raspberries, I do not have CKD, but I do try to keep my kidneys in good shape ( I'm a 60 yr old male), is this a good combination?, or,,,,
Recently heard of a person with Polycystic kidney disease who was able to see about a raise of 10 with following basically a plant based keto diet. She is reducing oxalates also, but uses some chicken, seafood, yogurt and cheese. What can you say about keto (plant based primarily) diet and CKD
Michele has some info on her other channel on a plant focused keto diet and recommendations for renal dietitians that specialize in this for people with PKD! You can check out this link th-cam.com/video/LvReTnzZm6I/w-d-xo.html and Michele's website: plantbasedkidneys.com/resources/#dietitian
Hi, Dr. Hashmi and Michelle. Brand new here. I appreciate the response to the tea question and I assume it is the same for coffee. However, especially for iced tea, what sweetners are ok? I have 3A CKD and I can't drink unsweetned iced tea. thank you
Hello! Unsweetened iced tea alone or with lemon for flavor will be the best option if consuming regularly (as added sugar is not recommended in high amounts regularly). However, if you need to add some sweetness/flavor to your tea there are a couple options. You can try adding a splash of juice for sweetness. Or you can use honey or pure maple syrup but should try to limit to 1 tsp portion (that provides 4 g added sugar).
I prefer the taste of distilled water. I had to switch my dog to it because of struvite crystals. Now he won't drink anything else. I gave him filtered water but he won't drink it either now.
What do you think about Hyponatremia in low sodium diet. My mom in CKD stage V non-dialysis and start plant based diet but its not 100%. Its been 2 Times in a month she needs NaCl3% iv. Will LMNT added or or salt tablet or salty food is safe for her? Since her BP fluctuated 138 to 171 through the day....and her Potassium increase to 5,2 from 4
She should definitely work closely with a renal dietitian to make sure the plant based diet is individualized for her. Low sodium for CKD is up to 1500-2000 mg/day. Her fluid intake may be playing a role as well so have them individually assess that. We will add low sodium diet and hyponatremia to our list of topics to address in an upcoming episode as well!
Here in the Philippines all you can find in bread is made with the cheapest ingredients. Been to many bakery’s only find wheat no whole wheat. Nothing really healthy. Hard to stay on a kidney diet

Hello! Thanks for tuning into our channel! We do have another short video on oxalates, but will have more soon! A healthy kidney diet should always be individualized. Some people may need lower oxalates, and some may not. For people who do need to limit oxalates, usually avoiding/limiting the very highest oxalate foods is enough (spinach, rhubarb, raspberries, beets, almonds). There are still TONS of whole, plant based foods that aren't extremely high in oxalates.
Thank you so much for all videos, thank you Dr Sean.
This was shocking to me: BRITA water filters has just been sued because of there claim to filtering is said to be false. In other words its not filtering the way they claim.
Please look into this if you would.
I have a reverse osmosis (RO) system in my home but I bought a cartridge with minerals that is attached to my RO system. Should I remove that cartridge and drink only either RO water? Is distilled water better to drink with kidney disease?
Very good question. I hope they reply that
@@evelynaustria5227 I removed the cartridge with minerals in it about 4 months ago. Should have done it sooner.
I heard celery juice is very good, but spendy for a few 8 oz cups!
Mangoes are actually super easy to cut once you learn how to efficiently pull the peel off.
Good to know! I need practice with that :)
I have eaten the peeling!
@@OliviaDI mango peels aren't considered edible or good to eat.🤢🤮🤮
I like mangoes but break me out

Hi i have protein in urine can we have dairy products,what abt coconut milk also fish ?
Thank you for sharing this information.
Wonderful.
Enjoyed this very much. New subscriber here. I look forward to the next video. 🙏
Welcome aboard! So glad to have you
Thanks. Appreciate it.
I was enjoying flavored waters until I read the label and saw the phosphorus added. So now if I flavor my water I use cucumber, lemon, lime, mint or even just a small amount of vanilla.
I agree with Sean! I also love mangoes but for me on a par with papayas. 😋🧡
Watching from Antigua
Can you take a little bit of calcium supplement - like 125 mg or so with your oxalate food, whether it's tea or leafy vegetables, in order to prevent the formation of stones?
Calcium from food sources is preferred over calcium supplements for stone formers. I would check out www.thekidneydietitian.org for a bunch of stone, oxalate, calcium specific information!
I make Flax seed bread at home, enough said.
Any chance of the recipie?😊
Hi dr. Hashmi I like to know if we can talk about people with already on dialysis and what to eat what not to eat because I have a situation with the protein very low three-point in my body so what do I have to heat do to improve my kidney problem so please talk about more people already on dialysis thank you so much
We have an episode coming up in a couple weeks on dialysis actually! :)
You mentioned water filters....is that for a jug you keep in the fridge or a water bottle?
My problem is low potassium. I am looking for more to keep my heart from skipping beats.
Some great higher potassium fruits and veggies are: avocado, mano, banana, brussels sprouts, artichokes, kiwi. Legumes and quinoa are moderate-high in potassium as well :)
I eat these foods already. Something is pulling potassium out. I will add legumes and quinoa.
I A M STAGE CKD CAN I ate rolls with glacern milk and cocoa
Is it ok to drink alkaline waters like SmartWater and LifeWater that also have electrolytes and/or bicarbonate added per their labels@Plant Based Kidney Health??
It really depends on what your labs are. In general, there is minimal harm but also minimal benefit.
Was told in hospital not to give smart water to my son when he was in hospital nurse informed me not good for his kidneys xx
Oh, I see, was that due to his labs and certain minerals/electrolytes being high?
Always great info! Thank you!!
Thank you for tuning in and supporting the channel! :)
I have to take 15g of Lokelma daily, I felt like at first it wasn't working because it was absorbing all the potassium out of the water I was mixing it with. Now I mix it using Aquafina because it's the only water that says it doesn't add anything to it's water.
I love potatoes, mangos, bananas, pineapples.... Basically all the fruits that are high in potassium. My doctor says I can't eat it and said I should try an apple instead but I find them boring not very flavorful.
Pineapples are low in potassium! Other lower-moderate potassium fruits are berries, apples, pears, peaches, kiwi, grapes. Lots of options!
I'm preparing food for my wife: CKD, diabetes, vascular dementia, & very picky eater. I've found that apples that are ripe, (I condition them in a brown paper bag for several days), then quarter & slice into thin slices of 1/8 inch or thinner, she will eat peel and all! Fugi, Gala, and Golden Delishious are her favorites. I have a number of colorful 6 oz cups that I serve in that ads a little variety & flair. Good luck.
@@garybates903 thanks for the advice, I'll have to try that with the apples. Currently found Bartlett pears at walmart but I have to let them sit for several days to ripen to the point that they are super juicy before I can eat them.
@@garybates903can you put a bit of cinnamon.
@@Jahalang82Asian pears
Will the k2 lecture here or will it be somewhere else?
We will address K2 in a video on this page, but you can also check out Self Principle channel where Dr. Hashmi has a video on K2!
I work with municipalities on test city water....um no I'm not drinking city water the amount of particulates are way to high. I only drink reverse osmosis water
Thank you for educating us is cod liver oil good for CKD patients
The tap water site doesn't work. (about 22:00)
Thank you so much for your informative videos😄
I realise that kefir is a dairy product but I wondered if the phosphorus content is in any way effected by the fermentation process?
Hello! Kefir has ~ 245 mg phosphorus per 1 cup portion. I don't believe the phosphorus is effected by the fermentation process.
Thank you for your reply
May be we have to avoid it because it is the hardest mineral to control inspire of all the drugs
Now we are plant based I’m sure it will help 🙏
My tap water is not so clear so I only cook and drink bottled water and give it to my cat, Home is 6 yrs old.
What do you think of drinking distilled water?
Good evening doctor hashmi . Could my blood pressure medication lisinopril be the cuse of my kidney problem. It started at the same time started taking it for bp month later my gfr started to deteriorate.
Same here with my Bystolic
Thank you so much for your information, excellent.
Dr H. Could you please tell us where are you located? And do you have a clinic?
🙏🏻
In your discussion of teas, it sounds like you were referring to various forms of green tea, which contain caffeine. How about non-caffeinated herbal teas? I ask because I drink hawthorn and hibiscus tea. A related question is that I have an overactive bladder & I can't drink 1 to 2 liters of water (as Dr. Hashmi suggests) or I will be peeing all day & night.
Basically, Plant based is safer than animal based foods. Someone like me who doesn't have severe kidney disease, I still eat meat, on occasion ,but have a lot of grains and vegetables with that meal.
I live in UK I could not fidn EWG website. Is there one in UK that I could access.
Menu for a week or more would be great
I’m with you I think that would be a good suggestion. I don’t even know if they read these questions. I’m new to this channel, but I don’t see answers from previous comments Aloha from Hawaii.
Drinking tea … there are online posts about what’s best to lower creatinine. Please speak to this. Those posts say chamomile or green tea or nettle leaf are best. What do you both say?
What causes low potassium? I get heart flutters when I am low and it's scary sometimes. What is causing this? High protein? I know flaxseed oil helps reduce C-reactive protein. Is that Creatine? Mine is a little high.
What plant based milk is better..rice, oat etc?
Deer park water . excellent water in a bottle Only one thing Plastic leave small particles that said could lead for Cancer .
Hello👋😎, usually the first meal of my day consist of, Costco organic plain Greek yogurt, some crushed pecan halves, sliced strawberries, and raspberries, I do not have CKD, but I do try to keep my kidneys in good shape ( I'm a 60 yr old male), is this a good combination?, or,,,,
Recently heard of a person with Polycystic kidney disease who was able to see about a raise of 10 with following basically a plant based keto diet. She is reducing oxalates also, but uses some chicken, seafood, yogurt and cheese. What can you say about keto (plant based primarily) diet and CKD
Michele has some info on her other channel on a plant focused keto diet and recommendations for renal dietitians that specialize in this for people with PKD! You can check out this link th-cam.com/video/LvReTnzZm6I/w-d-xo.html and Michele's website: plantbasedkidneys.com/resources/#dietitian
I eat once every 24 hours only boil vegetables or green leaves salad with only sprinkle of organic olive oil please advise
Hi, Dr. Hashmi and Michelle. Brand new here. I appreciate the response to the tea question and I assume it is the same for coffee. However, especially for iced tea, what sweetners are ok? I have 3A CKD and I can't drink unsweetned iced tea. thank you
Hello! Unsweetened iced tea alone or with lemon for flavor will be the best option if consuming regularly (as added sugar is not recommended in high amounts regularly). However, if you need to add some sweetness/flavor to your tea there are a couple options. You can try adding a splash of juice for sweetness. Or you can use honey or pure maple syrup but should try to limit to 1 tsp portion (that provides 4 g added sugar).
@@PlantBasedKidneyHealth ok, thank you
My husband is on dialysis .He has ESKD I really do not know what to give him to eat.I would appreciate you help
Your Ezekiel bread tip will not work for me since I have a gluten intolerance.
I find i tolerate the Ezekiel bread low sodium very well. But i do not eat it every day
Distilled Water is the only thing we drink
If I understand correctly distilled water has no nutrients and is actually bad for you.
I prefer the taste of distilled water. I had to switch my dog to it because of struvite crystals. Now he won't drink anything else. I gave him filtered water but he won't drink it either now.
Nutritional yeast is superb source of B vitamins, which are depleted during dialysis.
What do you think about Hyponatremia in low sodium diet. My mom in CKD stage V non-dialysis and start plant based diet but its not 100%. Its been 2 Times in a month she needs NaCl3% iv. Will LMNT added or or salt tablet or salty food is safe for her? Since her BP fluctuated 138 to 171 through the day....and her Potassium increase to 5,2 from 4
She should definitely work closely with a renal dietitian to make sure the plant based diet is individualized for her. Low sodium for CKD is up to 1500-2000 mg/day. Her fluid intake may be playing a role as well so have them individually assess that. We will add low sodium diet and hyponatremia to our list of topics to address in an upcoming episode as well!
@@PlantBasedKidneyHealth Thank You so much Michele. I cant wait for the upcoming episodes
Here in the Philippines all you can find in bread is made with the cheapest ingredients. Been to many bakery’s only find wheat no whole wheat. Nothing really healthy. Hard to stay on a kidney diet
Hi Dr and Michelle from Southeastern Indiana, great video...
I'm trying to get my Husband to eat more fresh fruit, or any he just doesn't eat it.
What is a great way to incorporate more fruit in his diet ?
Great question. We will cover it in our upcoming video. Small changes can lead to huge results over time :)
