not everyone gets kidney damage from potatoes and soft drinks at my age though, it was pretty severe onset

i think probably me trying to avoid the sugars and consuming sucralose/acesulfame-k instead probably was the big trigger though, it was within 6 months of starting to do that i started having double vision, pain in my side, cramps, and all kinds of other signs, potassium deficiency

so it probably wasn't the carbs alone in my case but they certainly helped
