Hi folks
LOL okay something a bit different.
I was told that I now need to put on a few pounds.
Due to my diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in Feb of this year I weighed approx 9 stone 10, now I weigh 8 stone 6.
However, I turned to a renal diet, stopped on the cakes, chocs, cola, coffee etc, so I do think this is why I've lost that weight.
I am under a nephrologist, but UK guidelines state that I will not be referred to a dietician unless my blood labs go all out of range.
So basically my Creatinine and GFR are out of range, but all other labs so far are normal range (thank goodness), but having the disease it can vary at times.
I was also put on Statins as from last November so made lots of changes to my diet.
Before I had my youngest who is now 18 I was also rather skinny, so am thin boned and was then around 8 stone'ish, its only recent years I put on the weight, and for that had the diagnosis of CKD
What would you advice to eat (healthy/non-salt/non-sweet) to gain just a few pounds?
Would you say I would suggest that I uptake on the carbohydrates?
Any suggestions will be helpful thank you in advance my friends
