A member asked:
I have high potassium problem so what i have to eat to increase my body weight and fat ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diagnosis first: The first step is to figure out why is the potassium high? Is it a diet issue? Is it a kidney issue? Are you having cell breakdown? Some questions need to be answered before any treatment. Please see a doc.
