Diet

Cookbooks, menus and recipes

Your diet sheet will probably include tips on bending the rules safely when you are eating out, but your Renal Unit may have other leaflets available which cover aspects such as adapting your diet at Christmas. Do ask the renal dietitian.

There are a number of cookbooks that have been written specifically for the renal patient. Here are some that we know about:

  • "Enjoying Food on a Renal Diet" edited by Marianne Vennegoor

    ISBN 0 951 9894 05, Ultrapharm Ltd, 23 New Street, Henley on Thames, Oxfordshire, RG9 2BP

  • "Food for Life" by Lawrence Keogh

    NBS Distribution, One House, Keats Close, South Wonston, Winchester,Hants, SO21 3HF. Price: £8.50 plus postage;

  • "Eating Well with Kidney Failure" by Helena Jackson, Annie Cassidy and Gavin James

The various renal cookbooks are well worth buying as they stretch the possibilities of the diet.

Below are links to some sample information sheets for Haemodialysis patients, based on booklets prepared by Betty Bennion, Renal Dietitian.
