Reply to "Tinplate Art Is Having a Cardiac Event!"

RICHARD: True, but I have modified my diet sometime ago, and one of the advantages of being a dialysis patient is that I have ready access to a certified nutritionist. I eat egg whites and oatmeal for breakfast every day. English muffins are also good bread for heart and renal patients. I have to limit fats and certain acid foods due to my tendency to develop reflux and/or heartburn. Dairy products and deep fried foods are a no-no for me, so I am already following a fairly strict diet. I believe not taking the low dose aspirin contributed to my current crisis, more than any dietary lapses! Also, long term dialysis patients have a tendency to develop calcium deposits in our arteries, and these can cause circulatory issues. I will do what I need to do to stay alive!
