I’m sorry to hear of your struggles. It’s a lot to grapple with but sounds like you are figuring it out. I’ve read on several Kidney nutrition sites that legumes, because they are plants, potassium and phosphorous amounts are not readily absorbed, making the numbers misleading. There is a good article regarding this from Kidney Community Kitchen and another one from “Emily kidney nutrition” blog. Emily Campbell is a registered renal Dietician and The article is titled “How to include beans in your CKD diet. “ 😊I printed out so much info but will try to find these in my online files to attach.

@flow, thanks for the info. I did know about decreased plant nutrient absorption and with the fluctuating absorption that goes with gastroparesis it's an even bigger problem since -unfortunately- legumes are a no-no on a gastro diet. If I could incorporate them the way I used to do before gastroparesis struck, which worked well for my renal/diabetic diet, I wouldn't have to struggle so much. But legumes don't play nicely with a paretic GI system. :=(
Please stay in touch, though, I appreciate your caring response.
