Patient's question:
I have had polycystic kidney disease for several years. Recently, I've been feeling some discomfort and pain in my waist, experiencing frequent urination, and swelling in my body. Additionally, my urine has some blood in it. Can people with kidney cysts drink honey?Doctor's answer:
Early symptoms of polycystic kidney disease may cause patients to experience recurrent lower back pain, occasionally accompanied by symptoms such as hematuria or pyelonephritis. Patients who do not receive treatment often overlook these signs. Honey is generally most suitable to be consumed 1-1.5 hours before meals or 2-3 hours after meals. However, for patients with severe gastrointestinal diseases, the appropriate time to consume honey should be determined based on their condition to better utilize its therapeutic effects.
