Based on this video, I went out and bought the rice milk that was recommended here; Rice Dream Original. I trusted that it was free of phosphorus additives as claimed here at about 5:01 and so did not read the ingredients list.
It turns out there is tricalcium phosphate right there on the list! I was careful to make sure I got the original formula too.
To be more than fair, I see that she did recommend reading labels in the video but did she? Maybe they changed the ingredients?

Such a helpful video! I’ve always been unsure about what kind of milk is best for CKD, but now I feel so much more informed. The details you provided really make it easier to make the right choices for my kidney health. Thanks for sharing this – I’m definitely going to keep these recommendations in mind!

I make our own almond/oat milk, noting else added. Soak 1/4 c almond flour, 1/4 c oat flour (grind oats in a coffee grinder) pug in a large mouth qt canning jar, fill halfway with cold water. Stick it in the fridge overnight. Next am I use a stick blender on high, add more cold water while blending almost to the top. Done, there will be a bit of slurry at the bottom, just pour if in your cereal

Thank you for educating us. My right kidney was injured many years ago (it was cut in half). I learned it is no longer functioning. So other nutritional values are helpful.

No mention of goat, sheep or buffalo milk and cheeses. A big sales pitch for her website and course. Check labels for sodium and phosphorus…

Homemade oat milk has oats and water, and it's a bit slimy, but hard to beat for a frozen blueberry smoothie of a morning. :) Thanks for the info!

Thanks very much for all your information about the milk. I was just going to ask if coconut milk is ok on Kidneys and it popped up. I am changing my diet due to Kidney issues. egfr was 59 and creatinine 93 when they checked through blood tests. Also can you please let me know if coconut is ok too. I would think it would be since coconut milk is ok. I use coconut in my baking and just today used it in my tea so thinking to swich to coconut cream in my drinks and cooking. Thanks

Kirkland Organic Oat Organic Non-dairy Beverage does not have any PHOS showing on the ingredients label. Calories 120. Sodium 95 mg. Protein 3g. Potassium 50mg. Flavor - reminds me of the scent of the paste we used in elementary school way back in the 1960's. We only use it as a milk substitute for recipes. I much prefer the Silk almond milk.

I have chronic kidneys disease. I am confused about YouTube a lot of people said this milk is good and others said it’s no good. Who am I going to trust with these information ?

[sherefulkam]

a year later, we now have Califia Farms organic oat milk with only 3 ingredients: water, oats, and sea salt.

The one milk you haven’t mentioned is goats milk?

I really appreciate your lecture. I learn a lot. I would be in a lot of trouble if I didn’t learn from you guys on YouTube.

I use Oatsome Organic Drink, i dont notice any Phosphorus added on the Label. Please let me know if you have researched Oatsome? Are saying the Phosphorus is always hidden?
Thank You, Great Content!!!!

l read coconut milk is the best for CKD but l hate the taste, l like oat, almond and soy, which one of those is the best

[markwalkerrockerJesus]

Isn't almond milk high in oxalates or is that just the nut?

[wolfsave]

I just wanted a quick answer, not a lecture on all available milk products. But thanks.
