@ldrlaw, hi. Some days are better than others. CKD seems to be stable but gastroparesis keeps me down - only able to tolerate liquids, purees, soft foods in small amounts.

Had so many problems with Hy-Vee not being able to deliver renal-friendly, GI-friendly, diabetic-friendly foods any more and the company making mistake after mistake after mistake I have had to stop doing business with them and no longer can recommend their stores. Sad but true.

Hope you are doing ok these days.

@kamama94 we commiserated about HyVee earlier this week. I forgot to inquire about your gastroparesis and I apologize. I too have diabetes (with gastroparesis) and CKD. I also have diverticulitis. Finding healthy foods that meet the requirements of these conditions is difficult at best. If I remember correctly you also have dentition and mobility challenges? Have you considered a meal delivery system such as Meals on Wheels? I used to volunteer to deliver these through my church. The system was operated out of the local hospital dietary/nutrition department and was customized to each client’s needs. I remember there being many different options possible. I don’t know if anything like this exists near you or if you are eligible but it might be worth considering.
(Post script - the last time I tried to make a recommendation about your gastroparesis you responded with a concern about diabetes. I have to count carbs and calculate a fast acting insulin bolus for everything that I put in my mouth! I am researching the feasibility of insulin pumps to make this more manageable. At present it is nearly a 24/7 endeavor).
