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 My preferred diet of beans, greens, bananas, whole grains, etc, has been replaced by pasta, white rice, corn, apples grapes.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.
