Potassium Question

Hi all, Been hibernating the last month or so, not really active on the ole' MI board. My rheumatologist checked my potassium levels and I'm coming up low. He started me on Rx liquid potassium (OMG, nastiest stuff I've EVER tasted and it makes me want to ) to boost my levels. Is there an alternate I can use? The tablet form was too large to swallow and couldn't be cut in half. Any help is greatly appreciated! Beth 230/179/140

If this is the orange stuff, if you mix it in with orange Crystal Light it's not so bad. I had to do this post-op and for a good three months after because of low potassium levels. I don't know of any other form. You can get potassium from food: bananas, orange juice are two good sources. Hope that helps. Eileen 347/202/170

Thanks Eileen! I'll have to give it a try. Anything to help it taste better! Beth
