[New post] My mother has 3rd stage CKD. She says she cannot have magnesium. Trying to find lower magnesium foods. She will only eat fish, pork chops, egg whites, no chocolate, no nuts, spinach. She is very limited in her diet. Now she says she cannot have chicken. I’m afraid she will eliminate more from her diet than she needs to. She drinks a lot of water too. Is there a diet that she can follow? I saw the DASH diet, would that be good, any advice helpful. Thank you.
