What can I eat?

My choices are a little different since I also am diabetic and have gastroparesis and am diabetic. Also am a strict vegetarian. Problem is, with gastroparesis my fruit and veggie choices are limited so I have researched nutritional values for the foods I'm allowed to eat and usually have less phosphorus than recommended and sometimes even less potassium and supplement with small amt potassium chloride (salt substitute.) My sodium intake ranges from 1000mg to 1500 mg and that's without adding salt to a meal. I'd like to reduce it but cannot as I'm forced to consume some processed foods in order to get other needed nutrients (can't have anything raw but iceberg lettuce, for instance.) I'm anemic, of course, but not to the point of needing injections yet. I take in around 32 grams of protein daily, less than recommended for CKD by my neph but since I cannot tolerate meat or dairy and rely on eggs, peanut butter, and some processed vegan meat analogs, it's the best I can do. I drink 1/4 C low-sodium V8 juice daily and 1/4 C mango-peach juice in addition to water and popsicles. So far I'm still here but I know that it's just a matter of time before things get a little more challenging. Meanwhile, my limited diet is working to the point that I can still somewhat function and still live at home.
