Yeah, I'm ready to just throw a plate of scrambled eggs and toast at 'em.The Renal Diet- PhosphorusI understand those who are really lactose intolerant. Hey, there are those who are milk protein intolerant. I understand that, it's medical. So tell me that... don't say you are lactose intolerant, because I could use lactose-free milk by mistake. Just please, tell me what I have to do so that I don't kill you at my table! Please! My heart can't take it. I will live with that regret for the rest of my life. Just please, tell me!Lactose intolerant guests who minutely question everything on their breakfast plates ('What brand of sausage is this? Is there cheese in this? Did you check the label on the bread?) while regaling everyone with tales of the FANTASTIC New England-style clam chowder they had last night!Pet Peeve:
People who tell you they don't eat something then turn around and eat a ton of it.
I have a guest here now. When making the reservation she stated: no beef. A few days later she proceeded to order 3 of my dinners (3 night stay) during her stay. Know what entree she ordered? Fillet mignon & flat iron steak. I don't think she even thought about the fish or pasta choices!.
Please don't pull your power play on me, the person deciding what you're getting to eat.

Okay, people... how do you feel about vegans? Anyone else want to give them a banana and a glass of soy milk and send them on their way? Anyone? Or is it just me? How about a gluten-free, no soy, no nuts vegan? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone!
.Oh noooooo, don't get me started! This weekend I have one room who says "no soy" another room that is vegan and a 3rd room who's online reservation says "renal diet". What in the hell is a renal diet?????GBManor said:Okay, people... how do you feel about vegans? Anyone else want to give them a banana and a glass of soy milk and send them on their way? Anyone?

If you hear some far off screaming this weekend, don't worry, it's just me!

Before making any changes to your diet, make sure you discuss them with your doctor or dietitian.
Phosphorus is a mineral that works with calcium to keep your bones healthy and strong. Phosphorus is needed by the body for building and maintaining bones and teeth and for normal nerve and muscle function. When kidney function declines, the body has a difficult time keeping phosphorus and calcium in balance. As a result of this imbalance, the body cannot get rid of excess phosphorus (phosphorus levels increase) and the body cannot take in enough calcium (calcium levels decrease). To try and correct this imbalance the body will “steal” calcium from the bones, which makes the bones weak. Problems associated with high phosphorus levels include itchy skin, bone and joint pain, and brittle bones.
Foods that are high in phosphorus include:
• Cola Drinks
• Peanut Butter
• Cheese
• Sardines
• Chicken/beef liver
• Nuts
• Caramels
• Beer
• Ice Cream
Lower phosphorus food substitutes include:
• Broccoli
• Non-dairy milk substitute
• Sherbet
• Non-cola soda
• Zucchini squash
• Hard Candy
A large serving size of a low phosphorus food can become a high phosphorus food.
