Hello, I am Bob (78 yrs). I was diagnosed with CKD about 3 years ago via a regular blood test. In autumn last year my kidney function eGGR was down to 35 (Stage 3b) having lowered 5 points in the year. Someone told me a kidney friendly diet could delay or even halt decreasing function. I’ve completely overhauled my diet with recipes for Kidney Research and my own researches on line. But I would like a trained kidney dietitian to check my findings. My GP has failed to find an NHS dietitian. Does anyone know how to find a private one? Before my new diet got going I had a weird pain in my mouth, as though my tongue had been stuck on an ice cube and ripped off. That’s got better with the diet. The itchy patch of skin has got better with the use of skin cream every 4 or 5 days
