Thanks, From one Ginger to another----I agree that "Kidney Hood" seems to come from someone with no formal training---only takeaway being that I think I'm gaining in total recognition of food/diet possibibities from many sources. I'm thinking to spend the time to come up with my personal menu plans from what I like and availabilty of food sourses. I guess my thoughts are that @ 84yrs.--- I need to watch what I eat as close as I can---If my GFR falls to 15 or under, I don't like to think about what my life would change over to------short future?
Thanks again

@dogpoundginger [interesting screen name! Mine is the fact I am a redhead, and that really is my name.]

My husband is a kidney transplant recipient in late 2016, was on PD dialysis for 5.5 years prior to that. His diet is pretty much loosy-goosy now if you know what I mean, where he doesn't follow a lot of restrictions. He has the knowledge and experience of having to tweak his foods, and for that I am grateful, as it helps me in an overview of things. Of course, each person is different. I have to be mindful of what to eat not only due to the kidney issues [function of 13% per lab, 15% per my cancer center], but gout issue and blood cancer treatments. It's a balancing act you have to really personalize for your own situation.

I'm glad you are proactive in finding what will work best in your situation. I will be interested to hear what you come up with!
