What are the dos and don’ts for carbohydrate consumption when managing symptoms of chronic kidney disease (CKD)?

Dos for CKD include focusing on low-potassium, low-phosphorus carbohydrates like white rice and certain fruits and vegetables to reduce stress on the kidneys. Monitor portion sizes and balance with lean proteins. Don’ts include avoiding high-potassium and high-phosphorus carbs like bananas, potatoes, and whole grains that can worsen kidney function. Regularly monitor kidney health and adjust intake as needed.
