Blog Dec. 21/18 - Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year I love Coke! But my kidney function (CKD) is very low; after many VHL-related procedures to remove kidney RCC tumours over 23 years, I only have about ½ left. My doctors and dietician are telling me to eliminate colas and anything high in Potassium, Phosphate and Sodium to prolong their functioning (till the end). I’m sure a lot of VHL people with kidney problems are in a similar boat. (I know there are other dietary changes for other VHL areas) So I thought of sharing my personal fav’s list of “approved” pops. They’re also narrowed down by availability in my grocery stores. To see a full list click here to see Table 1 in this research article. Henry's fav list of
Pops with < 1 mg Potassium and <1 mg Phosphate: A&W -Root Beer, 174 Calories, 45 Sodium (mg) -Cream Soda, 174 Cal, 45 Sod Barq’s Root Beer, 166 Cal, 66 Sod Canada Dry -Club Soda, 90 Cal, 90 Sod -Ginger Ale, 140 Cal Mountain Dew, 110 Cal, 75 Sod Schweppes Ginger Ale 180 Cal Club Soda, 105 Sodium Mug Cream Soda, 180 Cal (Mug Root Beer = 170 Cal, 15 Pot, 1 Pho) Sprite 144 Cal Fresca -Original Citrus, Black Cherry, Peach Citrus = > 1 Cal each Nestea Lemon Sweet, 129 Cal (this is another similar list, but it has sodium levels) Comments are closed.
