There are many of us out there with LOW potassium levels. WE all know the horrible feeling of swallowing 8-10 horse pills of pottasium. Remember the disgusting taste of pottasium liquid? And how about the burning painful feeling of taking pottasium through IV? It is my hope that we don't ever have to go through that again. Here is a list of foods we can eat/drink to help us with our pottasium levels. good luck!!! if you have any other pottasium rich foods or drinks, please drop me a line in my guest book.
