Some rules for consuming fruits and other foods in kidney problems

I was in a very embarrassed state, having taken the fruit to the hospital to see a friend who was suffering from kidney problems! Then the doctor explained in response to my questions.

Although there is no problem in eating fruits like other foods in a healthy normal body, caution should be taken in eating fruits like other foods in some illnesses.

We generally think or when we go to see a patient, the first thing that comes to mind is 'I am going to see the patient, let's take some fruits'. If we do not know this "diet", eating fruits thinking it is a "diet" can cause big problems.

Let's see how much we know about this precaution ---

There comes a stage in patients with long-term diabetes or high blood pressure - when the doctor says that there is a slight problem with the kidneys, creatinine is a little high, and there is protein in the urine.

Then, along with all the other foods, eating fruits becomes a problem.

What medicine and kidney experts say - some list of foods for kidney patients and some awareness -----

1. To prevent chronic kidney disease or long-term kidney disease, first of all, you need to control your blood sugar and blood pressure. If you cannot do this, you cannot keep your kidneys healthy by changing your diet alone.

2. In the case of kidney patients who have water retention or swelling, the doctor will measure the daily amount of water and advise you. Otherwise, there is nothing to worry about water. However, you will also have to reduce sodium - that is, the amount of cooking salt. This salt not only increases blood pressure, but also helps to retain water in the body.

3. Sick kidneys sometimes cannot properly remove potassium from the blood. This increases the amount of potassium in the blood. Sometimes, the matter is detected by testing the electrolytes in the blood. It is better for those who have this tendency to avoid fruits that are high in potassium. Bananas, oranges, dates, watermelon, tomatoes, raisins, avocados, etc. have high potassium content. However, there is no obstacle to eating fruits that are low in potassium such as apples, grapes, pineapples, strawberries, etc.

4. Many times, the amount of phosphorus or phosphate also increases in kidney problems. Foods made from corn, cola-like drinks, and some nuts have high phosphate content. However, if the doctor wants, he can control phosphorus through phosphate binder drugs.

5. Kidney patients lack calcium and vitamin D, resulting in anemia. Therefore, you should eat foods rich in calcium, vitamin D, and iron.

Meanwhile, experts say that the gallbladder is closely linked to the liver. Therefore, it is important for kidney patients to know what to do about gallbladder problems in order to lead a healthy life even with diseased kidneys.

Bile produced by the liver is stored in the gallbladder and is secreted from here into the digestive tract through the ducts. We need bile to digest oily and fatty foods. If there are stones in the gallbladder, removing them is a very common surgery. After this surgery, various types of food cause various problems, and digestion also becomes difficult.

Why do stones occur? --

Diet is also a major reason for the formation of stones in the gallbladder. Gallstones can occur due to excessive fast food, fried food, adulterated food, food fried in old oil, drug addiction, excessive sleeping pills, or prolonged use of contraceptive pills.

Gallstones can sometimes cause stomach pain. Especially after eating oily and fatty foods, such as pulao, biryani, beef, etc., vomiting, indigestion, and diarrhea can occur.

If there are stones in the gallbladder, the gallbladder is removed. If the gallbladder is removed, the bile produced by the liver comes directly into the digestive system and various problems arise in digesting food. Therefore, such patients should change their diet.

Experts say ----

1. Eat clear liquid foods (such as clear soup) and soft granular foods (such as porridge) for the first few days after the surgery. Then gradually switch from liquid to semi-solid or normal food.

2. Burnt food due to the absence of the gallbladder. Fatty and oily foods will not be digested. These should be avoided as much as possible. Eating the wrong foods after this surgery can cause stomach pain, gas, flatulence, diarrhea, and indigestion. French fries, potato chips, beef/lamb oil-spicy dishes, sausages, pizza or cheese-based foods, full cream milk, dairy desserts, ice cream, foods containing butter or ghee, chocolate-cakes-pastries, etc. and any highly spicy food may cause discomfort.

3. You should gradually return to fibrous foods - over time. Such as bread, pasta, red rice, lentils, oats, seed-based foods, cauliflower-broccoli, cabbage, etc. In the beginning, eating these foods together may cause gas and stomach ache.

4. Do not eat a lot of food at once. Eat small portions throughout the day.

5. It is better not to eat foods containing caffeine. If the patient has diarrhea and indigestion, it is better to avoid tea, soda, energy drinks and coffee.

If we know the ways to protect our health, we can prevent many types of health problems ourselves. We can prevent the disease before it reaches our home, rather than going towards recovery, if we know about awareness.
