WEll, after 20+ years of being diabetic, my potassium levels went too high and I ended up in the hospital for a few days, to get it back down. Now I have to go on a kidney freindly diet of low sodium, low potassium foods. Do you know how may great foods are high in potassium? At the top are white beans, black beans, tomato sauce, spinach, whole grains, cantelope, all of the tropical fruits, kiwi, nuts and most seeds, rutabagas, Sweet potatoes, potatoes, and the list goes on. Fortunately, fruits native to the U.S., except apricots, and berries are good for me to eat.
Anybody with great food ideas, I'm all ears. Of course I can make pasta dishes with herbs and spices, meat, not salamiies and such though, eggs, and allowed veggies. I ca make deserts with gelatin, fruits, white flour, nnon-dairy whipped toppings, and such. I've been blessed with the cooking know-how to eat well, even on a restricted diet.k But now baked beans, pea soup, or spaghetti with tomato sauce, it's almost unthinkable. And what about those lovely home made bbq sauces I've always made... What about my Raginng Bull Salsa? I have to fid a way to make it without tomato!
Kidneys, when treated properly, can heal mto a certain degree. It breaks my heart though, to see all of these adds selling products, or books that promise to cure kidney desease. I assume they are snake oil, designed only to fattern the bank accounts of Those selling the products.
In any case, this is me, relearning how to eat healthy.
