I am in tears over hemodialysis diet

TexasPediRN · Feb 16, 2006

Nobody should be in tears over trying to figure something out!

Have you tried using the internet as a resource?

Here are some helpful links for you:

I also recommend contacting a dietitian at a hospital, and seeing if they have any information that could help you.

As for counting calories/nutritional value:

and click on 'online searchable data base of food"

Good luck!
