Learned a lot about the "gut-kidney axis" today, so called for how positively reinforcing they are. Basically, an inflamed gut will fail to contain proteins, which then your kidneys have to filter, which increases oxidative stress, which scars the nephrons, which reduces filtration and excess is routed back to the gut, which raises the pH and further inflames it, thus making a downward spiral. Or an upward spiral - reducing inflammation is a matter of sealing off damaged epithelial gut lining, which you do with short chain fatty acids and/or soluble fiber goo - that soluble fiber becomes the SCFAs, so that's helpful. And in doing so, you reduce the load on your kidneys, which causes a reduction in albumenurea, if I spelled that right.

You can check to see if your diet is improving kidney function by observing the time it takes for pee bubbles to pop. Yes, I'm my own patient, and I'm observing this... Bubbles will last longer if they contain more protein, which shouldn't be there, so if they pop quickly then the diet is working. When my research began 4 days ago, they weren't popping at all ; now they pop instantly, meaning I've eliminated protein leakage, which in turn means I've eliminated kidney disease (as long as I keep the gut-kidney axis happy).

Interesting factoid : the cells in your gut are completely replaced every 3-5 days. The gut is the fastest regrowing part of your body, so theoretically any gut issues should be entirely healable, and quickly.
