My 16 year old has chronic kidney disease and has been on Hill's k/d for about a year now. It's worked well, but now he's stopped eating it. The doctor suggested anchovy paste as a supplement to make it more palatable. It worked at first, but now he won't eat again. Same with freshly cooked chicken (ground up in food processor): he ate it at first but not anymore.
He suggested chicken consomme as well, boiled down to make it more concentrated but I have a few questions: there seems to be a lot of sodium in the brands I've looked at, and most of them contain onions or onion powder. Is regular chicken broth the same thing as consomme?
Any suggestions on what can be added to his food to make it more palatable for him? He will only eat the tuna flavor. He was very weak this morning so I offered him a little Fancy Feast mixed in with his k/d and he ate it but this can't go on as it's bad for him. I fear I made a mistake and he will now only accept the k/d with fancy feast. What else can I offer him?
I was thinking about buying some canned tuna and adding the juice/oil. Would this be okay for a kidney patient?
