Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Thanks . That is my attitude. I am going to do everything in my power to teach my son how to take care of his little body, especially now that we have to keep this kidney filtering as much and as long as it can I have almost decided to start him on the Omega 3 fish oil, cut down on sodium, protein...kids need protein and my son has already stopped eating most meat on his own before we knew what was going on.....I need to find alternative protein sources to make sure he gets enough. He is soooo skinny and has very little appetite. Thanks for the good luck with the legal system.. have a great day! Angel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Angel, My son was diagnosed at 13, and his neph. did not want him on a protein restricted diet as long as he was still growing. It can be tough to balance everything with this disease. good luck - Betsy > Thanks . That is my attitude.
