I read on NKF post that Apple Cider Vinegar has more potassium than sodium, so if potassium restricted might be a problem for CKD diet. Maybe moderation? kidney.org/blog/ask-doctor/...

OC41,

Thanks for the reminder.

That's a consideration for many, if not most, with CKD.

A while back my labs showed both my sodium & potassium were low.

Neph suggested a supplement for potassium BUT I decided to increase my level with foods... not sure what my level is at the moment. I just started on ACV & WILL be careful til I get my next labs. Still careful with sodium :)

Hippocrates reportedly drank ACV on a daily basis but he is looked on as the father of western medicine so what did he know? We get by without him and have substituted Hubris to replace common knowledge. I would suggest that you research what you can and make an informed decision on your own.

Who knows if it does all of that? I strive to make my body as Alkaline as possible, so I add apple cider vinegar to my daily healthy smoothie and I enjoy my lemon water.

You are amazing L4u4laith,

Seems it was just yesterday we were 18 years young !

I'm only 79 years of age and it sure is nice to find others who remember those days.

So many things have changed but ACV is still good :)

Thanks for your wisdom.
