Kidney Nutrition for PKD
Food choices can feel confusing when you’re living with polycystic kidney disease (PKD). You might be wondering what actually matters, what’s safe, or whether you’re doing “okay” with the food you eat. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
Our kidney nutrition resources are created specifically for people affected by PKD, in collaboration with renal dietitians Emily Campbell and Roxanne Papineau. Together, we focus on practical, evidence-based guidance that helps make nutrition feel clearer and more doable in everyday life.
On this website, you’ll find Emily’s PKD nutrition blogs and the Love Your Kidneys and Love Your Kidneys II cookbooks and guides. These resources help answer common questions like:
- What should I eat with PKD?
- Do I need to avoid certain foods?
- How do I balance kidney health with enjoying food?
- What does “kidney-friendly” actually mean?
If you’re looking for more hands-on support, My PKD helps turn nutrition information into real-life meals. Inside our free, private online community, you’ll find recipe indexes, meal-planning tools, webinars, and printable resources that can help with questions like:
- What can I make for dinner with what I have on hand?
- How do I plan meals for the week without overthinking it?
- How do others with PKD handle food, family meals, or eating out?
