It is impossible for me to begin to guess what the true position is, and even if I could I would not be allowed to offer a course of action. However, I can say that the word Chronic doesn't help. There are four stages of CKD. I started Stage 1 in 1973. In 2007  I had kidney stones in my left kidney, was given Cocodamol and passed them out after 24 hours. By that time I was at what is now called Stage 3a. It was not until 2012 that I reached Stage 3b and therefore had a kidney (and pancreas) transplant in 2013. In 2000 I was put on a low phosphate diet. Have you been referred to a nephrologist? I would ask their advice before going on to punitive diets. The first real food I ate after the transplant was a Magnum Classic from the hospital shop. Having had no ice cream or chocolate for 13 years meant this was nectar! If you are anxious to know what foods are better, then I would suggest you look at this site:     <a href="https://www.leedsth.nhs.uk/patients/resources/low-phosphate-diet/" target="_blank">https://www.leedsth.nhs.uk/patients/resources/low-phosphate-diet/</a>  I hope your fears proove to be unfounded. Good luck</blockquote>
