Title: Dialysis and Nutrition
Post by: Charlie B53 on March 09, 2016, 10:46:22 AM
I wasn't sure about whether to post this in Dialysisi: General Discussion, or in Dialysis: Diet and Recipes, deciding it may have more exposer in General Discussion even tho it is food related it is a serious concern of all that are on Dialysis.

Ultimately, Administration may elect to leave it here or move it to Diet and Recipes.

While only 3 years on PD I am constantly learning more about the foods I eat and most importantly, how they will effect my labs and my health.

My Nutrition ist gave me a copy of the AAKP Nutrition Counter.  36 pages that lists the essential information we need on many foods.  This list includes Potassium, Phosphorus, Sodium Protein, etc., and is a very good source for those wanting to pay closer attention to these elements in your diet.

I've attached a copy of the pdf file that is found on the web site of the American Association of Kidney Patients.

Take Care, eat wisely, and take your binders,
