Hi Dunksize2,
My daughter is 18 and has had a year of kidney problems. She was told she has the beginning of kidney disease. Her nephrologist also put her on a low sodium, low protein diet. He said think of meat as a garnish and eat 7 - 9 fruits and vegetables per day, plus drinking 100 oz of water a day. She is also on a diuredtic and potassium citrate, not potassium idode. Fruit/vege servings are 1/2 cup.
I have heard of a renal nutritionist that I'm going to look into. The diet he gave her was the DASH diet, but I think it has too much meat in it. I also need to know what is the minimum sodium amount so she doesn't lose electrolytes and get weak from lack of protein.
Let's stay in touch.
