Question:

When I was experiencing kidney pain (turned out to be a severe kidney infection) I asked my doctor if it was attributed to my LC lifestyle.  He said that there hasn’t been any studies that have proven that LC affects the kidney’s.  In fact, the studies included low fat and apparently there wasn’t much of a difference between the two diets in regards to the kidneys. (Boy, I hope all you proper English grammar people out there don’t cringe too much in reading my post! <laugh) Wendy 215/168/135 P.S.  Don’t wait in case it is a kidney infection, I waited way too long and almost ended up in the hospital.  I was pretty miserable.

Response:

IMHO – Do not wait. Get him to a doctor and have a blood test taken to test his kidney blood levels.  While low-carb diets work great for millions of people, there are always exceptions to the rule. See a doctor. Do not take any chances. This is ONLY my opinion. Good luck – be well. :-) Les W.
