The investigators want to learn more about how to help people who have chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study will increase the investigators understanding of how diet affects factors that can slow the progression of kidney disease. The investigators are asking 30 adults and 30 children with stage 3 CKD to be part of this study. Participants will supplement their diet with resistant starch for two weeks. The investigators anticipate that the resistant starch will change the bacteria in the intestines to a more beneficial type of bacteria. The investigators will measure a product of these beneficial bacteria called butyrate. The investigators will also determine changes in the gut bacteria and products of the bacteria in the blood.
