Yeah slept like a baby!! thx....the cal carb looks good...I would personally keep it in the 4-6 :1 range myself for the 2 months.

? on the protein...how are you calculating it? Cuz if ya look at one cup of dandelion per day...that's @1.5 grams of protein and that = 1500 mg of protein thereabouts for 1 lil cup of dandies. I would try to keep the protein <10% overall...5% roughly daily. No doubt a low protein diet has been known to actually REVERSE kidney disease(in humans anyway) Iz sure can use all the help he can get!
But he still needs protein just no where near as much as he's prolly used to getting when he was a little fart. Hey...also wanted to mention RenaGel....a non-calcium , non aluminum, non-magnesium phosphate binder with no impact on serum calcium!
thought it is an interesting med worth mentioning....believe its by RX only tho...haven't seen it OTC anyway. Try a web search on RenaGel...something maybe worth looking into?
