Kidney Nutrition & Mineral Prep Tips

Dietitian Tip: Standard wheat pasta has about 120 mg of phosphorus per serving, whereas white rice noodles have less than 30 mg. For Stage 4 patients watching phosphorus closely, rice noodles are a fantastic swap.

Stage Adaptation: Safe for Stages 1 through 4.
