Thank you Vera
I've been working with the kidney disease people for a while now on several cookbook projects. But the newest one involves the combination of the two problems. Whew! It is a challenge!
For example-people with diabetes should eat complex carbs with lower glycemic index, hence, whole wheat, brown rice, etc. Unforturnately, grain with fiber and low glycemic index also contain high levels of phosphorus and potassium, which are bad for people with renal problems. Nuts are also a problem ingredient as well as many others. Sugar substitutes are also a no-go due to the minerals contained in them.
I'm starting to feel a little bi-polar when researching all of this.
Thanks for all your help. I'll keep you updated with the progress. |
