Thank God I have quite some renal function yet to get rid of liquids, nevertheless I had been perceiving the build up of some liquid in my body since sometime ago. Here my Renal Unit doesn't seem to care for that, but I clearly did and so decided to check out if I could take furosemide by myself. I started taking it some days ago, and have seen a huge increase in the amount of urine I'm getting rid of. Which of course, makes me very happy!
I want to know if anyone else is on diuretics? and by the way, do you know any foods with duretics properties?
My philosophy: To use as much my kidneys as possible. I don't want them to shut down thinking I no longer need them because I have been on PD for quite sometime..

Asparagus can make you pee. It might make your wee smell a bit odd, though.
Beets also work for me... but again, the effects on the output are noticeable. I always have a bit of a panic when I see red wee.
Coffee also seems to help.
