best supps

[sonoma_8]

hey guys, just had a kidney biopsy done and the docs told me to stay off the weights for a while. i have lost a stupid amount of mass and size. besides downing a shit load of protein, what else on the market "while staying clean" will bring me back to where i was?????

If you have kidney problems, this more protein is not a good idea.
Are you doing ok?

The Kidney is no organ to mess with. No matter what you do, be sure to STAY HYDRATED!!! Especially if you plan on using a protien suppliment. I don't think I would recommend creatine as it is eliminated by the kidney and may cause dehydration. Hmmm, definately use a good multi, fairly clean calorie rich foods, heavy ass weights...wait for the ok from your doc. best of luck man!

dont know bout biopsy results yet, i know im not supposed to have protien in my urine, but u cant build muscle without protien, i just dont want to give up lifting. right now im only on like a 200 protien diet. thats what the doc recommended. i'll find out the 16th what the diagnosis is. keep u posted.

Protein and Creatine both can make your kidneys work hard.

Cranberry juice and PLENTY of water.

Have your doc do some kidney tests (blood tests) montly. You can slowly increase what you are doing and make sure you don't screw things up. You definintely don't want to hurt your kidneys

I would just ask your doctor.

I'm sure he will give you the best advice.
