Hey Ginger,
Hope you're doing well. I wanted to ask about my father's diet. He’s on a very restricted protein intake and is allowed only about 6 vegetables. We’re feeding him every 2–3 hours, and he also takes Pediasure for added nutrition.
His current meds include:
Loprin 75
Carvida 6.25 (morning)
Anifid Retard 20
Zyloric 100
Elezo capsule
Maxflow 0.4
Ketocell
Ruling 40mg
Insulin (8 units morning, 8 units night)
He was previously on Spiromid but that’s stopped now—no Lasix either and new tests are going to be on 1st of next month. Even with this routine, he seems to be getting weaker. Is there anything you'd recommend helping him maintain strength and energy while staying within his kidney-friendly limits?
Really appreciate your help. Thanks so much!

@syedlaeeqahmed I am not a medical professional. Usually a person does have a restricted protein because it can strain the kidneys to process everything. Once they start dialysis, more protein is allowed. My sincere suggestion is to check with your father's medical team and get their input. Having health conditions can truly affect us and our energy. My team, at one point, simply told me to eat what appeals to me.
At this point I use homemade protein shakes to help me. Perhaps a review of all his medications with his team may lead to reducing or eliminating a few?
