We have a couple of patients in my clinic that have very low phos. levels. They are given protien drinks and told to pig out on phos. foods. One patient eats alot of cheese and ice cream to keep his phos. up. Phosphrus pills are omitted from diet. Ask your nephrologist before doing anything. No one reacts the same way.

Don't worry enjoy it while it lasts, I remember after my thyroid surgery My Phos level was extremely low with no binders. Even my Potassium was getting low and when you potassium gets to low that's when you worry, your heart can stop. :o So give it a couple of months it will level back. Keep us updated.
