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. But looking at this list, a lot of her favorite foods are low in potassium so I'm happy that she FINALLY has a good variety of foods to choose from! Thank you so much! WE appreciate it! 12/1/2009

Kristin There's tons of info out there. Try going to the national kidney foundation, Davita, or any other kidney site. Many also have recipes there. My husband is in end stage renal failure and I know you can search for kidney freindly recipes or renal dialysis recipes and info. Most people with kidney disfunction are on a low potassium and low phosphorous diet so these web sites should help you. 4/30/2009
