you are correct that diet can play a part in IgA Nephropathy. Few specialists realise that there is a link between gluten intolerance and IgA Nephropathy. 2 peer reviewed internationally respected groups of scientists have published a link between gluten intolerance and IgA nephropathy in Nephrology journals.
Please get a test to see if you are gluten intolerant (Caeliac) BEFORE you go on a gluten free diet. If you are a caelic then you must have ZERO gluten, not even trace amounts, as the gluten antibody is a physically large molecule and it scars the fine filter mechanisms of the kidneys.
Research has also shown benefits of a vegetarian diet.
Your specialist sounds incredibly narrow minded. Traditional Chinese Medicine has also found to be helpful for some.
Do your own research and keep an open mind.
Cheers
Dave
