I SOOO understand! I’ve been a kidney transplant patient for 12 years and this summer had a bad fall that seems to have changed my whole biochemistry. I’m now starting to have episodes of gout. That adds yet MORE restrictions, besides no carbonated drinks, to now no sugars and basically no meats of any kind to the already potassium and calcium restrictions! What are fruits but potassium and sugars!? No caffeine which could exacerbate the migraine I’ve had for 35 years, 1 month and 7 days. So that leaves water, basically, as most herbal teas are not approved for having to be cleared through the kidney transplant. Sigh. Yet I AM alive.
