How can i relieve potassium buildup in my body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reducing potassium: To reduce potassium from blood and tissues, assure daily bowel movements, even with gentle MOM or Miralax (polyethylene glycol). Assure abundant urine flow - 3 liters per day. Limit intake of high potassium foods - tomato, citrus, potato, melon, peaches, apricots, banana, strawberries, others
