My Dr. seems pleased that it's improving. After sticking to my diet I expected a lot more of an improvement.

So check out point one first. This was/is WAY harder for me than giving up wheat - Casein has been known to have similar effects to wheat - it's a very similar molecule and although it's effects are usually not nearly as serious it may be stopping the healing process.

I tried juice fasting when I first discovered the problem. It was an interesting experience but I can't be sure if it helped my kidney condition or not. <br /><br />I did feel, however, that it kind of "reset" my body and helped me desire healthy foods more and unhealthy foods less.<br /><br />Good luck!RBBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18303422821202662231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509089945021836114.post-20823393349679412062010-05-03T22:40:04.666-05:002010-05-03T22:40:04.666-05:00i've been reading online about kidney issues a...i've been reading online about kidney issues and juicing. i have found a lot info on fasting on vegetable and fruit juices to repair the damage we have done to our bodies. i too, have a similar problem and am working on it as well. my challenge is to drink the juices only and not cheat. all i have been reading indicates that you can heal the cells with the juice. look into it.lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065410571775808169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509089945021836114.post-8824107397380349752010-04-17T20:40:23.022-05:002010-04-17T20:40:23.022-05:00@RBB

I just did the tests myself and now I'm waiting for the results.<br /><br />Science is advancing like never before (more importantly regenerative medicine) and I strongly believe that there will be a cure in the next few years. But of course this will very likely - but not necessarily - cost a lot of money, at least in the beginning. There's a lot of hope for the future, just try to save as much money as you can.Waleed Eissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04090512767164140583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509089945021836114.post-62162405845774913582010-04-16T10:10:40.105-05:002010-04-16T10:10:40.105-05:00@Wal: You're quite right, nothing has been sho...@Wal: You're quite right, nothing has been shown to reverse 'irreversible' kidney damage so I guess I should change my criterion about what "works" and what doesn't!RBBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18303422821202662231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509089945021836114.post-27759933319031859922010-04-16T09:49:07.550-05:002010-04-16T09:49:07.550-05:00@RBB

To determine if levels are low requires a special blood test which my doctor didn't recommend for my current stage of kidney disease.<br /><br />However, I've been experimenting myself, taking about half a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate a day (with grape juice it actually tastes quite good) but after about a month of this the test results don't show any improvement (though no disimprovement either...)RBBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18303422821202662231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509089945021836114.post-18682064674484763542010-04-15T06:12:40.576-05:002010-04-15T06:12:40.576-05:00I don't know if you came across this before or...I don't know if you came across this before or not, but I just read that baking soda can actually stop the progress of kidney disease.
