Diet Coke is a no-no

Coke, diet coke, and other dark colas and Peppers and Beers contain phosphorus. I could chug a ton of diet coke before I was diagnosed. Not no more!!! :-) Can't drink milk, eat ice cream, or as much cheese as I would like. This is why people are askin for kidneys folks. Not a lot to eat, and tied to a chair for half the week.
