4 Why is a phosphate restriction needed? Phosphate is a mineral, it comes from the food we eat and it is important for your body tissues and bones. It is released from food in the stomach during digestion and absorbed into your blood. Your kidneys control how much phosphate stays in your body. When your kidneys are not working properly the amount of phosphate in your body can build up and cause problems. To help control this you will need to change the types of food you eat and you may need to begin a medication (Phosphate binder). Phosphate binders Your child may be prescribed a phosphate binder. Phosphate binders work like magnets and bind to phosphate in the stomach before it is absorbed into the blood. It is then removed through the bowels. Binders need to be taken just before meals.
