When I was on PD I took Tums.  After my transplant, they put on Renagel for only 2 weeks.  Now I'm left with a huge bottle of Renagel that caused me $32 that I don't use.  Not sure what to do with it.  Be happy to give them away since I'm no longer taking them.

Otto is on phoslo and he still is running 5-7.2 I know it's high. I'm gonna ask about adding tums and see if that might help.

Does he drink soda?  My phosphorus is usually only that high if I've been drinking soda that has Phosphoric Acid (Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper and a few more but pretty much any cola type drink) in it and forgot to take binders with it.  Doctor told me Phosphoric Acid is absorbed into the body faster than Phosphorus in food! 

Just something for everyone to think abt and remember.

Ok, so I think I started the Tums thing on this thread, but in my clinic visit today they told me to stop taking them. All my LABS are great so I asked why. My dialysis team said they were just at a dialysis conference in Texas and were lectured on the fact that long studies have shown that taking a daily source of calcium even if your calcium levels are not high, lead to a calcium build up in your blood vessels. We all know that’s not good.

Has anyone herd of this or read any articles?
