Answers:
ask this person's doctor to arrange a meeting with a dietican or nutrionrist, this professional can give you exact and useful information for you to use in preparing and planing menus for your friend...do not take advice from just anyone, it is worth the time to meet with a professional, this is life threatening if not eating properly...
a doctor should be able to give you general guidelines as to what this person should or should not eat. However, a balanced diet always involves the following:
- avoid processed food
- include in your meals the 'perfect' trio of carbs, protein and minerals (that is pasta or rice or noodles, meat or fish or cheese or eggs, vegetables)
- portions should not exceed 70 gr for pasta or rice, 80 gr for meat, 100 gr for fish
If the person has renal failure of renal insufficiency, they need limited protein in their diet (less than 0.8 g/kg body wt). They may also need limited phosphorus and potassium in their diet if they are in renal failure. Also, fluid is restricted in renal failure or renal insufficiency.
