This is my version of Geroge's Chili ... not too spicy for my tummy.     
... you can add more onions, garlic, etc.

I am not sure if this question belongs in this thread so if it has to be moved, I understand.....now someone said I should give my husband wheat bread and I was wondering why....we don't really like it but I bought a loaf today since his health needs it but I was just wondering of the benefits......

[jbeany]

He's still pre-dialysis, so the wheat bread will have more fiber and be more filling than white.  Once you start having issues with phosphorus and potassium, you aren't supposed to have wheat bread anymore, so it sort of depends on his labs.  On the other hand, if he doesn't like it anyhow, find a different source of fiber, and let him eat what he likes!

In our supermaket you can get whole wheat bread which is white in colour.  Does this mean that it is okay?

Are any of you using Iphone apps for renal dialysis diets? I didn't read the whole thread so if someone already mentioned it, please excuse the repeat

AFAIK, I wouldn't trust it as far as I can throw anything. Honestly, bring that up with a dietitian and see what they say. Until you know more, don't trust it until you are told to throw as far as possible and trust that figurative distance.
