Any of you vegetarians?

[whywork2]

Need some help. Recently got diagnosed with a kidney disease where my body doesn't process proteins and I to need to try to avoid them and salt. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I like fruits and vegetables but this is going to be difficult.

Sorry to hear that. I'm not a vegetarian but how about vegetable lasagna or green bean casserole?

 

[whywork2]

Thank you, I will look into it. Been looking at some recipes and it's hard enough to avoid meats and fish let alone nuts and cheese. I seen something like this recipe and see if it will work. Thank you very much.

No problem. And if I think of any others I'll mention them.

Vegetarian pizza?

Sorry to hear that whywork. I'm sure there's a way to substitute different vegetables and seasonings, get a little creative. Is it protein you have to cut out? Are you allowed any amount or do you have to completely eliminate it. Hoping you get well

 

[whywork2]

I can have a small amount. I can't remember exactly how much though, my blood pressure has to stay low too , that keeps the kidneys from working less. I am on a one time six month steroid regiment and am taking Omega 3 fish oil four or five times a day. Something in my kidney evidently fights another part of the kidney. It's called IGA Nephropathy or Berger's disease. My kidney could go at any time or last quite awhile , no way to tell. I got sent to the kidney specialist, nephrologist and four day later I was getting a biopsy and no subsequently been diagnosed. It's something I can have at least some say in so I just have to buck up and consider it a challenge. What's hard is that I cook for my four or five people on a regular basis and now I have to pull myself out of the equation . Going to even look into soy milk and shit like that.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

I'd rather choose to adapt and make the best of a difficult situation. I was asking for suggestions, nothing more.

soy has a decent dose of protein, consider almond or cashew milk.....

Sorry to hear that man.

[SteelersPride]

I bought some flax milk today. That is one thing that I found I can use. It may not be great but it's tolerable.

Chew on some pine needles.

I do it all the time for heartburn. Doesn't taste bad and it really freshens your breath.

I don't think I could deal.

I'd be heavy on the pasta's is all I know.
