I have End Stage Renal Disease (kidney failure), and should be (!)
following a 'renal diet' which is fairly strict in limiting foods high in
phosphorus, potassium and sodium. This limits a lot of everyday stuff such
as tomatoes, potatoes, nuts, dried beans, milk, cheese, fresh fruits &
vegetables.

I'm not really religious about adhering to this strictly, but try to keep my
portions under control. They give me bloodwork every 2 weeks & my 'report
card' seems to come back with good numbers.

Life's a bitch, but better than the alternative.
