My phosphorus numbers went up unexpectantly. The only change this month was I switched from having a soy based yogurt to a tofu based cheese product. Can you tell me if tofu is a high phosphorus food, maybe if it is high potassiun also. I have been on dialysis for over 3 years.

Hi! It sounds like you have been caught in the tofu cheese trap. Because tofu cheese is a manufactured processed product often additives are used for flavor and or nutrition. There are many different types on the market, a good idea is to call the phone number on the package and ask for nutrional break down and then choose the best product. Some are actually lower in phos than others. Good luck. Nancy
