This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers want to understand how different sources of protein affect people with chronic kidney disease (stage 3). This study will compare a vegetarian diet that includes dairy and eggs to the same diet with some red meat added. By looking at changes in your gut health markers, the researchers hope to learn which protein sources may be better or worse for people managing kidney disease.
People with kidney disease need to be careful about protein intake, but doctors don't yet fully understand how different types of protein affect gut health and kidney function. This research could help guide better dietary recommendations for people with kidney disease.

You would participate in a 12-week study where you eat prepared meals following specific diet plans. First, there's a 2-week period where you eat your normal diet, then you'll follow a vegetarian diet for 3 weeks. After a 5-week break eating normally again, you'll follow the same vegetarian diet but with some red meat added for 3 more weeks. Throughout the study, you'll collect stool samples at home and have your blood checked. The exact order of the diets you try will be randomly assigned.
