Potassium Citrate -Amazingii

[Will1234]

I had a procedure in January for removal of a kidney stone and was advised by my Surgeon to take Potassium Citrate . This was found to help prevent recurring stones forming . Interestingly , this medication , which has a major common side effect of stomach issues and diarrhoea has had a reverse effect with me.

Now two months later my IBS of fifty years is so much better . Reluctant to say it has cured me but so far it pretty much has . I now get normal BMs one or twice a day and although some increase in gas no more D, which has been a regular symptom since age 21 over fifty years ago.

I wonder if anyone else out there, with perhaps some medical knowledge, or has had any experience of this medication has any thoughts on this .

I have found nothing on line which explains anything of this , although Potassium it seems has some effect on muscles . I am wondering if it has slowed my digestive muscles down .

WillI posted A few threads on potassium in 2019, and a theory about intracellular potassium levels that got a mixed response. I guess it helps if you have low potassium intake which a large number of the population have.
