What Diet Is Suggested To Speed Up Apetite In A Patient Suffering From Kidney Disease, Diabetes And Congestive Heart Failure?
My husband has kidney disease, stage 4, he is also a diabetic, and has conjestive heart failure. His kidney dr. wants him to eat more protein as he is underweight. His appetite is very bad. He eats a good breakfast but lunch and dinner are a challenge. I cook what he likes and he eats very little. What do you suggest that can speed up his appetite.

Hi, welcome to Health care magic forum.
Your husband is a patient of diabetis, kidney problem, and congestive heart problem.
Hi is having loss of appitite and doctors want to take more protein.
I prescribe to my patient with lack of appitite enzyme preparations, liver stimulants, etc.
If proteins are to be given in excess, can have protein suppliments.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.Thank you.
