The lowest of low potassium cheese is goat cheese! This soft cheese provides just 7 milligrams of potassium per ounce.
Hard cheeses such as cheddar, Edam and Red Leicester are high in phosphate. Better options include: cream cheese • cottage cheese • mozzarella • feta • brie • Stilton.
Milk, yogurt, and cheese can be part of a healthy kidney diet. Shop for natural cheeses, avoiding items labeled “cheese food” or “cheese product.” Greek yogurt and cottage cheese can be easy and tasty snacks, and, in most cases, milk servings should be 1 cup per day.
White bread is typically recommended over whole wheat bread on a renal diet due to its lower phosphorus and potassium levels. All bread contains sodium, so it's best to compare food labels and choose a lower sodium variety.
Objective(s): Despite the nutritional benefits of potato tuber, patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) should limit the consumption because of its high potassium content.
A low potassium food can become high in potassium if you eat a large portion. You should limit dairy products (milk, yogurt) to ½ cup or 4 oz per day, or 1 oz low sodium cheese. Speak with your nutritionist about how much you can eat each day.
Traditionally, white bread was recommended for people with kidney disease because it has less potassium and phosphorus.
Swiss, brick, goat cheese, mozzarella and cream cheese have the least amount of sodium.
Feta is also high in phosphorus, iron, manganese, selenium, zinc and potassium.
Low-potassium foods (less than 50 mg per serving):
1 ounce of cheese (20 to 30)
Although feta cheese contains healthy amounts of calcium, the phosphorus in feta may weaken bones in people with kidney disease.
Some high-potassium foods that people with CKD should limit or avoid include: nuts. beans and legumes. potatoes.
Most breads and cereals are good choices as they are low in potassium.
Yogurt is packed with protein, a nutrient in high demand for dialysis patients. It's also a good source of calcium and vitamin D. Although high in potassium and phosphorus, dietitians may recommend limiting to a 4-ounce portion if you are following a low-potassium, low-phosphorus kidney diet.
What's the best way to reduce potassium in potatoes? For the most effective potassium removal, potatoes must be cut into small pieces, sliced thin or grated. If boiled at least 10 minutes in a large pot of water, potassium is reduced by at least half the original amount.
Results: Mean potassium content was highest in the purple Viking potato (448.1 6 60.5 mg [11.5 6 1.6 mEq]/100 g [values are mean 6 SD unless otherwise noted]), and lowest in the Idaho potato (295 6 15.7 mg [7.6 6 0.4 mEq]/100 g).
