Hi Again Ginger,
So nice that you keep in touch with me. Funny, lately I'm not enjoying my coffee as much as usual. Just doesn't taste the same. I was on antibiotics and today (not to be too gross) I had a lovely time trying to move my bowels. Anything else?? I do watch my salt and do what I think I should be doing. My cousin has CKD3 also and she isn't as diligent as I am and her GFR was 54. I just have to wait to see my doctor and I will let you know how I make out. I love the "dang", you are too sweet. : )

@nscappa Our tastes change sometimes. It's a fact of life. Or, the foods we once liked aren't "made the same" anymore, and we find something about them unpalatable. We recall fondly how things were, but over time our memories can twist it around. Remember when we were kids and the loafs of white bread? I thought they were great! Slap a bit of butter on a slice. Now, white bread is just so... yesterday, if you'll excuse the pun. Recipes and formulas have changed, our tastebuds, also.

Diet and being careful what we consume is a big part of kidney disease. I daresay it is the biggest part we have a sayso in! Just yesterday I was speaking to my nephrologist and the PD dialysis team, We were talking about how kidney patients have to be on the forefront of our own health and well-being, we are all part of the same side in this game.
