💜 Hi Sarah,
Sorry to read that your kidneys are damaged. A diagnosis can be hard to digest. Empathize and thankfully, you are able to manage it through diet.
Living with family facing chronic illness, I adapted meals for the entire family. Keeps us all healthier:)
Thank goodness for iPhone apps! They are a godsend, helping many of us stay informed to make better decisions.
You are taking great care of yourself by bringing your own food.
If you were invited to my house, I have always asked guests for any dietary restrictions to ensure there is something they can eat. Many of us have restrictions and I love the internet for finding suitable recipes.
As for salt, i had to restrict. I’ve gotten around salt by flavouring with healthy herbs:) It’s on the table for each person to add to their liking.
