recipe for the PD dialysis patient

Protein bar before I sliced it

So I’ve tried various types of protein bars in the last few years to keep my protein levels up while on dialysis. Because a lot of the protein drains with the dialysis solution it is essential I have a lot of protein to keep my muscles in good health.

However, when I used different protein bars from various manufacturers I would have problems like become too constipated or have diarrhea. Many of these protein bars use soy, which is one of my problem foods.

I finally gave up and started looking for a protein bar recipe that I could use. When I did find one I liked, I tried using different protein sources to see which one was the best tasting and easiest to work with.
