Drinking a small cup of instant coffee w/ chicory at the moment.

Chicory (Cichorium intybus) is an herb native to Europe and Asia.

It's also grown in the U.S. Chicory root contains inulin, a starchy substance. Chicory root has a mild laxative effect and decreases swelling. Chicory is a rich source of beta-carotene.

Thanks for sharing 🤗

No. When I was first diagnosed 10 years back then coffee was thought to be harmful to kidneys but a few years later the doctors told me in was beneficial to kidney health.

It's not the Coffee that damages the kidneys.. its what you put in it....sugar and cream...etc

[orangecity41 NKF Ambassador in reply to RhenDutchess123]

Agree.

I suggest an organic decaf that is processed with water not chemicals. The Organic Coffee Company on Amazon has very tasty and healthy beans.

I do love my coffee, but try and limit it to one a day, max two and always make sure to drink the same amount of water if fluids are not limited. Going to go have a cup now 🤭

Me too! Cheers! ☕️☕️😊👍

Thank you so much for this, orangecity41! Very valuable and. helpful information. I didn’t know they also added phosphates to creamers. Also, I didn’t realize that coffee is counted as a part of fluid intake (all those years of hearing dieticians say that caffeinated beverages don’t count as a glass of water)! Lol!! 😊👍🙏

Things change over time.

I'm not sure, but I hope not. Coffee is the most important meal of the day.

But coffee is a diuretic, so I would imagine that if you don't drink enough water, you'll also get dehydrated. I find that my bladder spasms a bit with too much coffee. I have no idea if kidney disease is related to that.

I try to drink enough water when drink coffee to stay hydrated.
