Kidney

Since I have been practicing macrobiotics seriously and
doing chi-kung exercises in an effort to get over insomnia,
that has been the past couple months, I have noticed
new sensations in the kidney area of my back-- sometimes sharp pain or ache, sometime tingling or warmth. I was wondering two things about this. Is this part of the discharge that I read about?
My other question is, how do I know if I am experiencing contracted kidney symptoms or swollen kidney? I have stopped eating much salt besides miso and some tamari, and don't eat much sugar except some dry or cooked fruit, and don't drink lots of liquid. Also, what is a good book for understanding more about the organs, meridians, their relations to food and emotion -- something that would make me able to explain this to others?
Thank you again Roy. I am enjoying your on-line class.
