Aha a clinical trial     :yahoo;      It's one of those really effective ways to keep employment  high in the world isn't  it?

And I don't think it was for D patients but for patients at risk of esrd?

I have to stuff myself with potassium too, to keep my levels up.

Next week I have to give up dialysis for a week while my hernia repair surgery heals.  My diet will have to change enormously if I'm to avoid emergency haemo - really cut back on protein and phosphorousy things.  I think it will be white rice, white rice and more white rice.  I have all my nutrient listings out and planning.

When I was younger, my potassium was low, so I could eat whatever I wanted when it came to fruit and vegetables.  I love me bananas, and it just isn't Christmas without clementines. *G*  Now, I have to be a little more careful, I can still have those things, just not as much.  Potatoes are a huge staple around here, and I have them nearly every day.. heck, I live on "Spud Island" *LOL*
