Especially for the Dutch speaking members of this group.As a member of the Dutch Union for Adrenal Patients (http://www.nvacp.nl/), I learned about this great site: http://eetmeter.voedingscentrum.nl/. It is a tool from a government organisation, to get information as a consumer about the amounts and contents of what you eat and drink. You have to register (free, of course) an keep a diary there, to get your reports and advices.

One cup of low Na V-8 gives you 20 mEq of K. How much are you on?DASHing by lowering Na intake helps you retain K better so dont need to take so much.
