Eating Well
Eating well is vital to our overall health, but making kidney-friendly food choices is not always easy. While there is no standard “kidney diet”, there are common food or fluid restrictions as kidney disease progresses. This section shares kidney-friendly options for wherever you are on your kidney journey.
Have Fun While Eating Well
We have a variety of recipes that reflect the different needs of our kidney community, in addition to celebrating our diverse culinary traditions. Food is such an important part of all cultures and brings us together as a community. We invite you to share some of your favourite recipes with our kidney community so we can feature them for everyone to try.
Ask the Expert About Eating Well
On our Diet Tips page, registered dietitian, Dani Renouf, shares tips for kidney patients – from newly diagnosed to post-transplant. The Kidney Community Kitchen FAQs on the Kidney Foundation website also offers helpful advice.
Do you have a specific question for a renal dietitian? You can have your questions answered on the Kidney Foundation’s Kidney Community Kitchen site. Ask the dietitian via email.
