Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Racecadotril is the best option for a kidney patient on fluid restriction. Electral powder is not recommended for kidney patients.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
