Guest guest Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Well, not good news. Despite not taking the altase for a week, my creatinin level went up to 2.5-one-tenth of a point higher than last week. Now the doc wants me to cut down on the water pill (lasix) to half the dosage and cut out one potassium pill. I have to go back next week again and do another creatinin level. Otherwise, I have to see a nephrologist. Very scarey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 You avoid , besides the ones I listed prevviously, all milk products and sodas-even if they are sugar free. Soda has a lot of potassium in it. The worse thing about this diet is the vegetables that you cannot eat-broccoli,spinich, dark green lettuces, tomatoes, potatoes, brussel sprouts and I am not sure about what other vegetables you have to avoid. Did I mention all citrus except for lemons?Of course, you cannot eat any processed foods as they are so high in sodium, so this precludes things like lunch meat, ham, and hot dogs and bacon.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 Let me see` I think I can eat pasta and rice and tuna! I think apples and pears are okay-all carb food! Oh, green beans are okay but no other beans are. Re: creatinin level > > >can you post a list of foods you are to avoid?

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 Sounds terrible, as I said in the other mail, wait as long as you can. Please keep us posted and be sure to let us know about your visit to the doctor. LaWanda At 09:41 AM 9/19/03 -0700, you wrote: >Let me see` I think I can eat pasta and rice and tuna!
