Product ReviewsThe Vegetarian Diet for Kidney Disease Treatment by Joan Brookhyser (2004, Trade Paperback)

Not just for vegetarians

Brief but concise overview of necessities for kidney diet, especially helpful for patients not on dialysis yet.

I was surprised at the changes kidney diets require, especially challenging to get enough fiber. The vegetarian focus helps establish a well-rounded diet but can easily complement meat products in moderation.

Only downfall is the book is a little behind the current therapies focusing on managing phosphorus levels. I had to research high phosphorus foods on-line to get a better idea of what foods to avoid for this management course.

As always, check with your doctor or dietician if being treated for kidney disease - this book is only a tool to help.Read full review...
