@dogpoundginger Looking after our own health, advocating for ourselves, finding what works best for us, is no walk in the park! It takes time and perseverance. As so many have mentioned, diet plays a big role in helping our kidney disease. I personally don't "do" apps. We live a fair distance from major shopping, and keep two refrigerators [sp?] stocked. Watching labels on food, and cooking from scratch for the most part, has helped me a lot. I never have claimed to be a gourmet cook, and use spices and seasonings to help kick up flavor.

Fresh fruit and no-salt popcorn can be good snack foods. It's hard to train yourself to eat well, when we have had decades of few restrictions, isn't it?! I also deal with gout issues, so the limitations there [pork, shellfish, purines] have been in place for a decade, which is beneficial to me.

Here is a page from the American Kidney Fund about diet and activity, which you may find helpful. Will you let me know what you think, please?
