peanut butter, hummus or pommegranite seed?  Zach, surely you have a website with everything listed as yes or nos?

[jbeany]

Well, peanut butter is a no-no.  High in phos, like all nuts.  I still have some occasionally, because I love it, but I cut down a lot on amounts.

The others, I don't know.  There's a website listed on here somewhere. . ..
ahh - here, try this -

Pomegranates are pretty high in Potassium, but I'm not sure about the individual seeds, only juice.

[dwcrawford]

that's what I was looking for... thanks.   so much bad food in house I'm trying to clear out.

[aharris2]

I don't know about my potassium, etc. other than its been normall in my last few blood workups. 

DeeDub,

I stole the above quote from another thread you posted to. What you say is all important. If your bloodwork comes back good then you are doing okay dietwise. Stay on top of your bloodwork. Ask them when you will next be checked (once a month is typical, but I am guessing it is more frequent at the beginning and under other special circumstances). Make sure you are given your "rounding report" which is loaded with info, not just the idiotic report card with smiley faces (or frowns) and stars all over it.

Be calm, don't overdo anything bad, but you don't have to make yourself miserable dietwise.

Hummus is made from chickpeas which, as they are beans, are high in phosphorus.  Small amounts are the key.  I used to use it in a sandwich, thinly spread, but be careful of the salt in any that you don't prepare yourself.

MONREIN,

[monrein]

Hey dw, nice to "see" you again.

[dwcrawford]

Hi, thanks.  I was trying to ask you about something that tastes like hummus but is made of eggplant...  Baba something?  I need snacks.

[jbeany]

baba ganoush?  It's made from eggplant and a paste made from sesame seeds.

Eggplant is pretty reasonable for potassium, and low in phos.  Not sure about sesame seed paste.

You can make a version of baba ghanouj by grilling eggplant and using a little low-fat mayonaise plus a bit of olive oil to mix in and make it creamy.  A drop of liquid smoke can add a more smoky flavour if you like that and chopped parsley is also a nice addition.  A little diced fresh tomato can add some texture.

Not as good as the type made with tahini, but more renal friendly.

I love adding eggplant to stews or curries and letting it completely disintegrate to form a thickening of the sauce.

[pelagia]

the mayonnaise and olive oil idea got me thinking...

It turns out that sesame oil has nothing but fat, flavor and calories.  Might be worth experimenting with getting the tahini flavor by adding a little sesame oil to the eggplant.

tgreat.  I'll pick out one or two.  too much info don't stay long.  lol   i expecially want anything with shrimp.

[Zach]

 i expecially want anything with shrimp.

Shrimp is good.
3 oz. have 116 mg phosphorus and provide 17 grams of protein.
Just a couple Renvela tablets.

Is Renveta a binder or something.  They haven't talked to me about binders.  Is it because I'm low on Phosphorus?  All the dietician said was "eat more of everything" expeecially protein.

[willieandwinnie]

dwcrawford, yes Renvela is a binder, Renegal stopped being sold in the US in September and Renvela replacement. If your phosphorus is low they won't have you taking binders just yet. Eggs, shrimp, tuna, sardines are the things they told my husband to eat a lot of. Steamed shrimp is the best choose. Hope this helps. 

[dwcrawford]

Thanks.  They gave me a sheet of high phosphorus food and told me to eat lots.  Also more protein.  Hmmm, maybe a drive down to the bay for some fresh shimp??  Two birds with on stone, so they say.

[kitkatz]

I want to be told to eat more of everything!

[dwcrawford]

No you don't.  You'd have less energy and have to take  daily renal friendly vitamins.
