Thanks. I love minestrone soup. The hardest thing for me with my damaged kidney and food limitations, has been to give up tomatoes. I tried substituting red bell peppers. I need vegetable protein but it seems when I use lentils my blood work shows a lot of purines, which is not good. I need to get enough calcium but am told to avoid dairy. I am maintaining good levels on most labs through deprivation. So many of the kidney recipes look yummy but have things I am told not to eat. Any thoughts on this ?

Hi @eirrol , this is not a platform where we can provide specific medical advice, so my best suggestion for you is to meet with a nephrology registered dietitian. This person could review your labs and determine what restrictions are necessary vs not. There are also non-dairy sources of calcium they could discuss with you. We always hope deprivation is a last resort.
