A member asked:
What kind of food can i eat if i have polycystic kidney disease and cyst on the pancrea ? and i previously had a pancreatitis with a lipase of 16,000.

Diet is not key: This is a lifetime challenge, but you can eat whatever you like without expecting specific benefits or harms. As your kidneys fail later in life, restrictions will become more important. I hope you will be able to get a transplant.
