A member asked:
Is eating bananas at night good for you on diuretics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diuretics: You are concerned about potassium. If your potassium is indeed low (which is not always the case) bananas would be one good means to increase dietary potassium. This is at the expense of a few calories. So i would do it only if your doctor has a concern in your potassium.
