IBS and raising potassium level

[smg1950]

Trying to raise my potassium levels some advice makes my IBS much worse such as coconut water and V8 juice. I’m trying bananas and kiwi as well. Any ideas?

Thanks

Lo salt some use.

I have IBS and can tolerate bananas. It is best to try just one thing different at a time.

ah... I have IBS too. One thing that helps is to eat fiber! I learned this from keto where I supplement a lot of potassium. I eat walnuts, about 50 g... but they are sort of fattening so you can do things like brussels sprouts etc that will help. Cocoanut water a lot of times has a lot of sugar in it. Honestly, I do a potassium powder but am very careful to measure and stay under the 5g / day limit as it is very dangerous to overdose. I've been doing this for 6 years now; yes, even before I had b12 deficiency.

Here are some smoothies I drink that are high in potassium and tasty. 1 Banana with 1 cup wild blueberries, 1 cup strawberries and almond milk

942 mg potassium

One half Avocado with almond milk, 1 cup pineapple and 1 cup mango.

1095 mg potassium

Banana w/ 1 cup strawberry, 1 cup mango and 1 cup almond milk

1109 mg potassium.

And this stuff:

Dr. Berg's Original Keto Electrolytes Powder - Sugar Free Electrolyte Powder - No Maltodextrin - Hydration Powder - Raspberry Lemon 50 Servings a.co/d/8g7UnPp

And soon there will be an at home test kit for monitoring potassium. A company called Kalium is developing it.
