Thanks VL!
I live in Mayberry RFD, so I'll hafta look when I get to a bigger city. I drink Gatorade and Powerade a lot because I sweat so much. (I know, women don't sweat, they glisten......I SWEAT!) There's only 1% Potassium in Gatorade.
The last year I worked as a CNA (2 years ago) I was on salt tablets because of this. I would come home and eat a jar of pickles. Seriously. Figure that one out....I was on Lasix and a salt supplement...... hmmm (Kinda like an oxymoron out of context)
Anyway, because of the Lasix, the Dr. told me to eat a banana a day for potassium. Is this enough? I don't seem to get the *extreme* leg cramps like I did when working, just the occasional ones that make you jump up and look like an idiot. (Save the comments please.....
)
I've heard a person can OD on a potassium supplement. Is there any truth to that? I was thinking of taking one, but jeesh.........
Hugs,
Jan
