I cut down on my protein intake and started drinking Ocean Spray cranberry juice light (made with Splenda). My next test (three months later) showed NO protein in my urine and my kidney function was perfect. It has been perfect since. I have to say, I didn't start drinking cranberry juice for my kidneys, I just liked it. I read later how it can have a significant impact on your cholesterol and your kidneys. I drink about 1/2 gallon of the stuff every week. I found it cheapest at Winco if you have one in your neighborhood.
Give it a try and let me know how it goes for you. It was pretty much a miracle for me. |
Thanks for the tip. I'll get some cranberry juice right now! I'll let you know in a couple of months how it goes. Quote:

Super duper good for you.  | Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it. What was your creatinine level before? and have you found out how it is now? what is a bmg? I hope you don't mind me asking. let me know how your testing went. Thanks again!
