I've been watching my nutrition values on cronometer for about a week, and I am just not getting enough potassium. No matter what I do -even when I supplement A LOT I am undereating potassium. Part of this I think is because I don't drink enough OJ, but if I drink milk and OJ and coffee all in one day everything in my lower bowel turns to liquid. I'm hoping this resolves over time -- even drinking Lactaid doesn't quite solve it.
So in the meantime, it is just not enough potassium. I think this is why my blood pressure needs such careful watching. I can bring it down with an aspirin and some OJ within an hour it seems but this is because I am lacking the potassium and salicylates my arteries need: obviously.
Six 99 mg potassium pills give me ten percent of RDA for potassium. It's not enough!
