Answers:
I had a kidney transplant so I only have one working kidney and before that when I was on dialysis I had to be on a renal diet, which was low sodium & potassium basically. Although I do not have to stick to that diet and definitely don't need to limit myself as much I still try to stay away from sodium. In fact I have become crazy about it - reading labels etc lol but salt is hard for the kidneys to break down, so I try to stay away from that. You can always ask your doctor or a nutritionist what they would suggest! Good luck! Health Question & Answer
