yikes - what a way to introduce myself. I will try again.

I am Coline, a 57 year old woman from Manitoba, Canada.

I see a dietitian in the new year, but until then, want to begin
eating correctly. I understand there are weekly diet plans that
address both fat / salt /sodium, but so far, have had little luck
finding them. For example, some sites say " no broccoli ! "

Thank you for any help.

Coline,
There is one book that I've found very useful, which contains
diets and discusses much in this area. It is "Coping With Kidney
Disease" by Mackenzie Walser. He was a kidney researcher for Johns
Hopkins for 45 years. It has an extremely low protein diet that
should help delay the progress toward dialysis. While my CKD is not
polycystic, that type is mentioned in a case history in the book.
Check with your nephrologist, though many of them are not familiar
with the diet. It is critical that if you go on this diet, that you
take Essential Amino acids (EAA) with it to give your body the protein
it needs in a different form. The book mentions the EAA and 2 places
you can get them.

The book can be obtained from amazon.com for about $7.50US. Look
for 'used' books, though they're not really used.

Chris
