You can check foods on this website:

Pay attention to the serving sizes at the top left of each entry.

Bananas are not the only thing with potassium in them. Potatoes, meat, V8 juice (vegetable one) and cantaloupe are good sources.
Edamame beans also for potassium and magnesium. Orange juice is a moderate source.
Why exactly do i have to be careful? I understand your concern, but Is there an upper limit of where I should go with the potassiuim. The citrate is 99mg per capsule it says. And the chloride has larger amount per quarter teasponn.

I think i may use the citrate version but how many capsules would u suggest?
