What to do when you have CKD and other health issues — can you balance both diets?

December 30, 20241 min read

😫 Let’s face it: managing CKD can feel overwhelming, especially when other health issues, picky eaters, or dietary preferences (like gluten-free, low-carb, or vegan) are thrown into the mix. Suddenly, it feels like there are too many rules to follow and no clear path forward.

🌪 I get it. My husband and I were in a groove with his kidney diet—then I was diagnosed with a health issue that required its own dietary changes. The thought of cooking two meals every day? No way. We had to figure it out, and that experience led me to create a process that I now share in my CKD nutritional program.

If you’re dealing with:
✔️ Another health condition with dietary needs
✔️ Picky eaters in the house
✔️ Gluten-free, low-carb, dairy-free, vegan, or vegetarian diets
✔️ Food allergies or sensitivities

Here’s how you can simplify and take control of your meal planning:
💡 Start with a Core Ingredient List: Identify kidney-friendly ingredients that also work with your other dietary needs.

💡 CKD-ify™ Recipes: Get creative with your favorite meals! Adjust them to fit your new dietary needs without losing the flavor you love.

💡 Batch Cook with Flexibility: Start with a CKD-friendly base meal (like soup, stir-fry, or casserole), then use add-ons like cheese, protein, or carbs to fulfil your family’s needs.

 Imagine this: One meal that works for everyone in the house. No more juggling menus, no more stress—just confidence and ease.  You ready for that?  Visit my website to learn more about my CKD nutrition program and sign up for tips and tools that make managing CKD simple and delicious! 😊
