Hemodialysis Diet

[Dejah]

Wondering is any member on dialysis? My 88 year old brother just started last week. My 87 year old s-i-l is recovering from a heart attack. I am trying to take over some of the cooking for them.
I have various pamphlets and notes from dietician, but any input would be appreciated.

Google ‘renal diet,’ it’s generally low protein, low salt low potassium

[rotuts]

this is a good ref:

 

https://www.kidney.org/kidney-topics/hemodialysis-and-your-diet

 

you want quality protein , and pay very close attention to the potassium and then the sodium., and phosphorus .

 

herbs and spices should be just herbs and spices w no add-ins .

 

if you are in touch w a dietitian that covers renal patients , run your Rx by them .

 

dietitians can be very helpful in these cases.

Spiceology has quite a variety of fun no salt blends.

@AAQuesada

Thank you for all your helpful responses. 
I checked out Spiceology. All look interesting, except they all contained salt and orange peel (high in potassium)
But I may order them for myself!
I've made a file, so, looking forward to the challenge.

@Dejah, check SpiceTrekkers in Montréal. I have written to ask about their salt-free blends. Will let you know.

You'd have to eat a LOT of orange peel to get much K+

Pretty sure I linked specifically to the salt free blends? The first one listed has neither orange peel nor salt.  my apologies if it wasn't helpful
