My blood phosphorus level is high and the complication is virtually every food I like is high in phosphorus. Too much or too little phosphorus in your blood and your heart can stop. Needless to say, I need to review the list of high phosphorus foods and adjust my eating habits. Ugh!
=(^+^)=
I looked up high phosphorus foods. I’d never make it. Cheese and chocolate are both on the list
…and those are high on my favorites list, too. Dang! I can have all of f hem, just in small amounts.

Is there a phosphorous binder for humans like they have for cats?
Yes,and I’ve avoided having to have it till recently. It comes on a powder you mix in water and take once a week three times before or after you take your regular medications.

Hi Doug, please make those adjustments to your diet and stay as healthy as possible! Thoughts, prayers and POTP from everyone here.
I have no choice but to be a good boy, eh?

Cats with ckd get a powder called a phosphorous binder sprinkled on their food. They seem to hate it, bt maybe a human would tolerate it. (I’m guessing you probably know all this and are on the appropriate meds…so I’m just sending purrayers that you can solve this health challenge too.)
I’m now ona powderbinder you mix in water and take once a week three times before or three times after you take your regular medications. Diet will help, too.

Andy’s pose is great. I hope diet changes can take care of your blood phosphorus level, Doug.
Yes, I hope diet changes do the trick. The alternative is a medicine or a “recipe” change on how they set up the dialysis machine.

I have a friend with kidney issues and he has to watch potassium which seems to be in every food he likes. Don’t you wish the bad foods would be the right ones?
Absolutely! I have to watch potassium in foods, too.
Doug Thomas
Such a pain having to review your favourite foods
It is! It is! And I tend to be a bit sla k when it comes to it becausrxevery food seems to have one or both in levels unhealthy for me.

Wow, that is a great picture of Andy for sure, and I like the other pics too! Hopefully you’ll find the right phosphorus balance in foods quickly and without too much trouble.
Thanks! Yeah, I hope I get the phosphorous business back in control, too.
