I had some the other day - with multigrain nacho chips, and all homemade toppings - keep the cheese to a minimum.  You can make some that are more pepper/onion instead of all cheesy - they still taste good without being tooooooo bad for you.

Actually, this has been my worst problem, giving up everything! So, I haven't. I just don't eat or drink as much of it as I use to.Maybe every once in a while I will have a V- 8 ,which I dearly love!!Ora few nut's or a little milk.I just limit myself a liitle on other thing's so I can have a few of these special treat's.Not easy, nope, but I do not feel guilty.It helps me when I have to stick to the dialysis diet other day's.

Does anyone use stuff like Coffeemate in their cereal? My diatician told me to try that, but I don't know....might be ok if it was ice cold, I guess.

i use coffeemate on my cereal, the french vanilla flavor. it's pretty good. i don't really care for the regular or non flavored variety, but if that's all there is it's not to bad. and yes, it needs to be refrigerated, so it's nice and cold. (you want the liquid from the dairy case, not the powder from the coffee aisle)

Why do you deprive yourself of foods *you* can eat just because he cannot eat them?

Oh, I know I can eat it myself, but it's one of those foods that he REALLY LOVES.  So I gave it up for him until he can eat it again :).

I am one for moderation as well.  My dietitian told me that on the morning before dialysis, I can have some things I don't normally have, like orange juice.
My last labs were not so good with phosporus and calcium (too high, too low), so I have been very compliant this month and used lots of Tums.  I will find out tomorrow (monday) how my blood works are.

Moderation is key ... and remembering to take your phosphate binders.

I crave different things every day.  Last week it was pinto's and cheese from Taco Bell.  Today it's pizza from my favorite Italian restaurant.  My doctor never put me on any official diet restrictions because I'm good at watching my diet.  Another thing I crave is cheese!  I love cheese and as long as I take my binders with it, I can have it.  I drink Pepsi but my doctor told me to take binders with it to keep my body from absorbing it.  He did say that for some reason the body absorbs the phosphoric acid in soda pops faster than the phosphorus in food.  I take Calcium Carbonate pills for binders. 

Another thing I've craved...Slurpees from 7-11!
