I can find plain boiled rice quite boring also. Theres loads of ways to jazz it up a bit, even try turning it into sticky rice or something like that, always tastes a little better, and as you say, add some tuna etc.

Cheers again

I had a disappointing Microalbumin (urine result) back today, am so gutted I even sobbed my heart out.
It was something like 2.1 under a year ago and now its shot up to 4.4, not good!

My Dr now forwarded the result on to my neph, as I have that appointment on the 24th of this month, am so scared x

Re: Help to gain a little weight

Have you done a 24 hour yet urine Di? Sometimes individual samples can vary depending on diet, exercise, infections etc etc.
Please try not to get despondent, maybe cut back on the proteins a bit more and increase the carbs, fruit and veg? That meal sounded lovely but it was lacking in fat/oil, some nicely flavoured olive oil as a dressing together with the lemon, or even frying the rice in oil with a bit of turmeric and chopped basil, ginger etc would add calories and give more flavour. Turmeric is excellent as an anti clotting agent too.
Keep your chin up honey xxx

Re: Help to gain a little weight

Thank you If, aww xx

I feel a little bette and calmer today.

I agree with the oils etc i do need more of it. I do actually add Extra virgin Olive oil and fresh lemons to my food but definately need to work more on the carbs for sure.

I also think the neph will order the 24 urine test because as you said we cant just go by that. Hopefully it will prove otherwise :-)

Thank you IF and everyone else for your superb support, love you all lots xxxxx

How did it go kidney-wise? xx

Thank you sweetie. xx

It went pretty well thanks for asking, they did explain my right kidney is larger than the other due to the previous scans, left at 10.2 and right 8.4 something around that, but no worries.
Happy there's no protein in the water this time round, still a trace of blood (not naked to the eye)but was told its normal with kidney disease.

However, all other labs normal, apart from the function but its stable still at stage 3.
I go back again on the 16th December for another follow up.

So far so good, just hoping to stay stable :-) xxx
