Bananas are a great source, if you can tolerate them. We always advise patients to eat them when they are on a diuretic. Angela

Try alfalfa - you can get it in tablet form sometimes or just buy some sprouts and throw them on a salad. Also potatoes are a good source, along with banana.

K-COR tabs. They are a prescription and are NOT time release.

My doctor said drink gatorade if I could tolerate the 13g of sugar per serving or if not, to drink low sodium V8 juice, grapefruit juice or tomato juice. Since I don't like gatorade, I opted for the V-8, grapefruit or tomato juice. As long as I have about 6 oz per day, I have no problems. If I skip it for a few days, I get cramps in my legs.

I have started drinking a bottled water called Smart Water. It has electolites and is very crisp and clean tasting. I buy it by the case at my healthy foods store. Hope this helps. ~Jennifer

Not to contradict, but I have a bottle of Glaceau Smart Water here on my desk (Watermelon flavor) Are we talking about the same water? Because, mine has nothing at all in it. Maybe there's another smart water out there...
