Hey Mike,

Pretty much what Rosemary says. Low sodium, low fat. I don’t eat meat, but I needed more protein, so had fish, tofu, beans, occasional turkey, and used protein powder. I had very low iron, so was put on high iron, plus zinc and potassium supplements. And, because of huge cramps I took natural electrolytes as a tincture. As I got more ill, my appetite waned, so I switched to smoothies, with fruit, soy milk, protein powder.
I’d definitely talk with your new doctor after you take your labs. That’ll be an indication for supplements you may need. And, also make sure you’re eating food protein, not so much meat, but fish, bean.
