@gingerw Keep campaigning to stay off dialysis! Me, too. Good days and days I don't feel up to par but ok iin general here. Thanks for mentioning my work, especially since that presents me with the opportunity to shout TAKE VALUES IN MY RECIPES WITH A VEY SMALL AMOUNT OF SALT. Ingredients and amounts and nutritional values of products, even fresh and whole foods, often change. READ LABELS! EVERY TIME!.

If you are a homebound, online grocery shopper dependent on home delivery like me, go to the trouble of contacting the provider or store by phone or email and ask that a current nutrition label for the item you're considering purchasing be read or sent to you since you can't physically hold an online icon to read the nutrition info.

I have to hand it to my own local grocer for putting up with my incessant requests for ingredients and nutritional values of item after item. On the other hand, pun intended, they can be glad I spend most of my grocery allowance there. So no matter if store personnel tire of my asking what's in something and how much is in something, it's still a win-win for both of us.

Or else I'd pick up my toys -er, money - and go home -er, to a different store - LOL.

@kamama94 Yeppers, working hard to stay off dialysis. My oncologist is helping a lot, by tailoring my chemo to [hopefully] not have an accumulative effect on my kidneys. Even the gabapentin he prescribed, at 300mg max per day [the dialysis patient protocol] I take only 200mg daily. We tread very carefully. Everything is so connected in our bodies and all the systems that run through it!
