Buckwheat Pancakes,Raspberries,Walnuts and Maple Syrup for Your Kidney Disease

1. The overall effect of this recipe on the body is alkalising – which is one of the most important actions necessary to retaining and maintaining good kidney function.

2. Buckwheat is a fantastic gluten free grain, that not only allows for delicious pancakes to be made, but because it is gluten free it is totally edible for those with IgA Nephropathy kidney disease. Gluten exacerbates this condition.

3. And lastly because it is packed with two super foods: raspberries and walnuts. Both of these super foods actually have qualities that are beneficial for the kidneys. Particularly as seen from a traditional Chinese medicine perspective. Raspberries enrich and cleanse the kidneys, control urinary function, and treat anemia – which is a common complication of kidney disease. Walnuts on the other hand nourish the kidney-adrenals, including the brain.
