@westutx Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! All of us who deal with chronic kidney issues sometimes struggle with exactly what we can/should do with our diets. Some may say, "everything in moderation". For me, having something in moderation can lead to overindulging; my nemesis is pepperjack cheese, which I dearly love!

How about trying another take on adding salt to your dinners, by using herbs and spices in place of salt? I use a salt-free seasoning blend that has garlic, pepper, lemon, paprika and several other tasty components. I don't miss the salt at all. In fact, for me, celery now tastes salty!
