Navigating the Renal diet during the holiday season can be difficult for dialysis patients. Specifically focused on phosphorous and potassium, this pictorial handout shows the “tricks” and “treats” of Halloween candy options. 

Some of the tricky foods listed that may be high in both phosphorous and potassium and should be limited in a Renal diet include:

  • Chocolate candy
  • Cola
  • Mixed nuts
  • Pumpkin seeds

Sweet treats that can be enjoyed with less phosphorous and potassium shown on the handout include:

  • Cranberries
  • Candy corn
  • Glazed donuts
  • Gummy bears

So don’t let your patients get tricked this Halloween by providing them an educational and fun handout to help show which treats can be enjoyed to fit within their Renal diet recommendations!
