csvipond Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Hi! I am so excited to find this place. I lost a kidney in 1997 due to a sports accident. I competed in my first bodybuilding competition in 2010 but was told the high (animal) protein diet was too hard on my remaining kidney and it was highly suggested I stop. I tried again in 2012 but ended up in stage 4 of chronic kidney failure 2 weeks before the show and had to stop immediately or risk dialysis. I have gained 20 pounds since then. I was wondering if anyone has any experience/information on vegan protein and effects on the kidney.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O. Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hello and welcome, what is your name? I would suggest trying to use the search function in the upper right hand corner for kidney failure. From an non professional point of view though I have heard and read tons of information about how much easier a plant based diet is on your body. I think you are definitely headed in the right direction now. -Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stcalico Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hi there. Here is an informative article from Dr. McDougall which goes into some detail on the topic. I did not read it all, but it looks like information that you will find useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
