    Dialysis bulletin board for Halloween

    When I started working as a dietitian, I acquired a fantastic handout from a colleague that showed some common “safe” Halloween foods and some “scary” Halloween foods.  I don’t know the original creator, but I have always loved using this handout to talk to my patients at Halloween.

    Safe Halloween Foods for Renal Diet

    Safe: Apples, glazed donuts, peppermint patty, lollipops, skittles, craisins, Lemonheads, Animal Crackers, Gummy Bears, Apple Cider, Popcorn Ball, Candy Corn

    Scary Halloween Foods for Renal Diet

    Scary: Sunflower seeds, Baby Ruth, Reeses, Almond Joy, Mounds, Twix, Hot Cocoa, Caramels, M&Ms

    Green Sign: “Don’t be tricked by Halloween Treats!  If you choose to eat a treat, choose a low phosphorus or low potassium treat.  And of course, don’t forget your binder!”

    How to get the file for your unit!

    You can get the file by downloading from the Renal Education Library (it is in the freebie section) or purchasing from RD2RD.com here.
