Low Potassium...DS or just an oddity

 My potassium dropped while I was in the hospital recovering from DS.  I had to consume this horrible liquid, which thankfully went down my j-tube instead of down my throat.

I also had low potassium for a while after surgery. I had to do the liquid oral supplement for some time. Gross beyond belief.

I've been on a prescription for Potassium since just a few weeks out.  I still have problems keeping it at low normal.  We just tested again a few weeks back and it was back at 3.2, so I've been doubling up.  The highest I've been is 3.8.  I'm 3.5+yrs out.  I notice it when the leg cramps start up, it's time to add a few more into my vitamins.
