Is it necessary that CKD patient take sodium bicar or citrate to prevent metabolic acidosis. My father takes 2000 mg per day. In addition to PPI ( in case of acid reflux, ulcers). Is he taking too many antacid ? He is stage 3 CKD with lot of gastric issues. I am curious to know. Will be awesome if you

Ever increasing T3?
Brief background (because I’ve posted quite a lot!): started levo/T3 combo at 10/125mcg in March this year. Fab. All symptoms gone.... for about 6 weeks. I’m finding I need to increase by 5mcg every 5/6 weeks. I’ve tried sticking at one dose for longer but symptoms increase again. Recently when in

ROOT CAUSE THEORY
For those of us that have structurally normal hearts yet are effected by palpitations/tachycardia/fibrillation/flutter/et al, I have been unable to answer the question - is your heart behaving appropriately to the stimulus it gets or is the stimulus normal and your heart acting inappropriately. As everyones

Flare Up of D at Party
I was fine all day and had taken a precautionary
Imodium
before going out. Could this have been excitement or a touch of anxiety? I know I have to move on and keep going out but it's hard and isolating. Just wanted to share. Thanks for reading.

Celery Juice? CBD? Trying both...
I posted on here a couple months ago that my GFR had fallen to 32 and then to 30 5 days later in August. Before that, I was eating bad, drinking bad and not taking care of myself. Diagnosed with IGA as an infant and am now 34. Luckily I have an active job and and otherwise in shape. Anyways, I got real

Low sodium levels?
One of my latest test results showing sodium level down to 129 -last test was 130. Both results too low according to standards. Not sure if Trileptal prescription is playing a part- is known to cause low sodium. Meet with nephrologist on results tomorrow but seeing this score drop is frightening.

Minimal Change Disease and Diet
I was diagnosed with MCD about 15 years ago. I relapsed several times, and my creatinine levels kept rising. At my worst I had a GFR of 14. I was already on a low sodium diet. It was suggested to me that I try removing as much animal protein out of my diet as possible. When I made this change, I

Can anyone make use of residue dialysis support materials?
I supported my son-in-law at our home during his dialysis. He's had his operation and is recovering. I now have plenty of his support fluids, needles etc at my home. Is there any organisation that will make use of the following, much of which is still sealed. 12 box SAK402; 1 box BD Plastipak; 2 box

Dads Full blood count. Any advise please for Vitamins/minerals
Dad is 76, we already know that his T4/T3 is low. No diagnosis of Thyroid issues. He has Alzheimer’s for the last 10yrs but it is progressing very very slowly and when I quizzed my mum she said there were no lesions as far as she knew and the last scan made the consultant frown because he was expecting

Always anxious and depressed
My stomach is always sick, I use pepto and
Imodium
daily. I just started a new job and it’s sending my anxiety through the roof. My husband doesn’t understand and just calls me neurotic. I don’t really have friends to talk to.

Getting off Lasix aka Furosemide
I am trying to wein myself off all my tablets constantly, over what period were you able to come off Furosemide and how did you do it? I am starting to think miss a day when i wake up with the correct weight? I tried to reduce my dosage daily, but I think its better to skip the odd day here and there

Questions for anyone who suffered acid rebound effect after PPI use, and eventually was free from acid reflux?
I could write a book about my experiences with this condition, but I'll try to be as concise as possible to keep you from getting bored halfway through! After various stomach problems (constipation / diarrhea, and later on stomach pains / cramps) for about a year, that my doctor speculates are IBS-related

Need A Few Kind Words This Morning
Usually I'm all over helping everyone else. But this morning I feel about as unsettled as one can. I think I made a mistake in trying to change a few things in my diet. I reduced the amount of potassium I've been taking in and that's bad. My disorder causes me to lose potassium, sodium & to have low

Trying to help my father (CKD) patient
I read a lot of posts in the past few days and I have learned so much more about CKD. My father is a CKD patient for over 3 years. His stages keeps fluctuating between stage 2 and stage 3. My major concern today is his acidity, gastric ulcers and bleeding issues. Moment he stops taking his medications
