D.P. Thank you so much, it hits you so hard and have to plan EVERY meal to use low potassium foods, soaking, dicing, potatoes, etc., is really a chore and to have more information, anything at all that you can find to use low potassium to protect my husband's health is so much appreciated, food labels on products are so very helpful.
Thanks again		 10/10/2011

lisa it sounds like most of the people on your list are kidney patients, so is my mom, & they are right your food list is not low potassium! you can harm people with the information you are giving. I've watched people with kidney diease havve their kidneys shut down eating off your food list, some have died, some have went on dialysist, and some have been ok, but when some one like you give out false and wrong information you kill. you need to get your list from those who live everyday with kidney diease, because they know what you can and cannot eat 6/15/2011
lisa my moms kidney doctor says strawberries are a high potassium and only one could shut her kidneys down. where did you get your low potassium food list? and who is the expert who made your list, they better go back to school because they are wrong and are not informed about kidney foods 6/15/2011

Nancy I am struggling incorporating a low potassium diet into my diabetic meal plan.
i.e. Your article indicates no more than 1/2 cup of milk or milk products daily. My
diabetic plan is at 1 1/2 cups of milk or low fat yogurt at brerakfast only. I do not have any dairy at lunch except I eat low fat cottage cheese and no dairy at dinner. My starch is a 3 servings at each meal. This makes them go into a high potassium range. Your article says I can eat 1 specific size pear and other low
potassium diets say no pears at all. I am at 2800- 3000 calories a day. I am insulin dependant. My doctor says pay attention to fruits and vegetables for now
and don't worry about dairy. Due to my own research I am not eating 100% whole
wheat or bran because of the potassium content. Your website was given to me by my doctor, but the low potassium diet is from the American Dietetic Assoc. Please help.

Trish Smith I was on four Darvocet a day until some idiots connected with the FDA decided to take it off the market. Bye the end of the first seven days of being of my medication for Fibromyalgia. I began waking with severe leg cramps bad enough that i t would wake me from a sound sleep and I spend the entire day with the soreness. I went to get some Potassium vitamins and I am drinking a Yahoo, everyday, it has 310mg of Potassium in each can. I am also sleeping on a heating pad every night. Again because of the removal of Darvocet the only pain killer I can tolerate. I am in a real fix and need help. My Dr. did change me to Tramadol 2 every 6 hrs. 1/5/2011

Monica Easley My grandmother was just put on a renal diet in addition to 14-carb, 200 mg sodium, 64 oz fluid - diet. So I was kind of up in arms about what to give her. It seemed like she couldn't have anything from what the dietician said at the hospital.
