Painful kidneys
Hello, Mandy 43, from Kent, England. I have been on the Dukan diet for 2 weeks. Basically high protein and I now have a painful right kidney. The diet requires 2 litres of water a day and I have been drinking at least that, together with diet coke (2 cans a day). I have come off the proteins this morning however what can I do before I get an appointment with my GP? Many thanks
Hi Mandy.. Your painful kidneys might have been caused by excessive protein in your diet. It's possible that you have have developed kidney stones but the only way to confirm that is through thorough examination.. My advise is for you to avoid sodas and caffeinated drinks. For now, you can try the home remedies to relieve the pain but it's best to go see your doctor about it.
I agree with mikaela.. I hope it's nothing serious mandy.. High protein diet is not good so try to reduce the protein in your diet. Drink water too instead of soda.. Try to cut it down to 1 can a day..
You may need to take medications Mandy so be sure to have yourself examined by your doctor okay?
Kidney problems
Many thanks for the thoughtful replies. I have some antibiotics to be on the safe side and am awaiting some blood test results. I had no idea high protein could be so hard on the kidneys and will take more care. M
That's good to hear mandy. Get well soon. I hope you'll keep us posted on the blood results. Let's hope for the best.
