Processed meat and cheese, broccoli, salmon carrots sweet potato, spinach pickles cottage cheese,tins soup sauces, cherry tomatoes,cured ham, canned meat, sardines and anchovies   there you can have a lovely meal from some of those . there are loads of others good luck with your mum , and you and your partner's covid, hope it's gone soon .

Hi Billy,

Thank you for your reply. I will certainly try to introduce some of these foods into Mum's diet although she has had no appetite much recently. I had a chat with the GP this week concerning Mum's low sodium on request of hospital and I asked if there were any foods or anything I personally could do to help Mum with this and he said no, he said giving Mum certain foods won't make a difference because it is something that is happening in her body and it is more complicated than that. He seemed really despondant to be honest. They have taken her off her water and blood pressure medication for a while and he said eventually he will have to introduce these back again so then I'm thinking won't the problem just return? It just seems really problematic at the moment. She is struggling on the low restricted fluid in take too. Hope your doing ok. Take care.

It's same with my body and sodium going low food does help to rise it a certain amount which is better than none . shame she's got to drop fluid intake you could do vegetable smoothies .

Hope things get sorted. ,  im having meds adjusted because of other problems cropping up it certainly doesn't help.
