I was just diagnosed with pkd and pld. what is best diet to follow to prevent pain and possibly help cure problem? (alt med) on top of conventional?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PKD PLD Diet: Pain relates to cyst expansion and hemorrhage. Data show that a mostly veg and fruit diet mutes PKD in animal models of PKD. Reduce all meats to 2-3 oz per day at most. Maximize fruit and veggie and whole grains. Eliminate saturated fats. Add omega 3. Soy can help. Drink 4-5 liters fluid per day - will suppress vasopressin. Avoid trauma. Tolvaptan Rx has promise. Statins / ACEI show benefit to PKD
