what is the reason for having diarrhea so much with kidney disease, especially on hemodialysis? thanks

Hi: This is not a normal side effect of dialysis. How long have you been dialyzed?

Too much dairy might be a contributing factor, but I suggest you talk with nephrologist.

Depending on age of patient, they might want to speak to a gastroenterologist.

Perhaps others on this forum have had similar experience.

What about diabetes? I have seen a lot of diabetic patients on dialysis with diabetic gastritis.

could also be a side effect of one of the renal related meds such as phosphorous binders.
