@mostlybill I believe it is your post regarding nutrition? I eat mainly beans, legumes,nuts,dairy and dark leafy vegetables. I have had no desire to eat meat especially post transplantation. I eat a banana and a greek yoghurt every day. These are all foods I am encouraged to eat. What reason did the doctor give you for having to avoid these foods? That certainly does limit your diet! I take tacrilomus (1mg every 12 hours). Is the restricted diet interfering with your medications? I am having a hard time comprehending this.

I am envious.I have bananas and oranges drying up in my cupboard. The immunosuppressant drugs, Cyclosporine and prednisone, are causing kidney problems as well as high blood pressure. I need to limit the amount of potassium I take in because my kidneys cannot process it. High potassium levels in blood can lead to heart attack as I understand it. My preferred diet of beans, greens, bananas, whole grains, etc, has been replaced by pasta, white rice, corn, apples grapes. I need to limit portions when I eat foods like beans or yogurt, fish. I find it hard to stay with it, and confusing as to how to have a healthy diet.
