Re: low K muscle spasm help please

[Guest guest]

Fructose is fruit right? So you can eat vegetables right? There are

tons of vegetables high in potassium.

Dr Grim, have you forgotten which one I am already? I even

included a thumbnail for you with this information: hereditary

fructose intolerance. That means I can't eat much of

anything high in K.

Except many things we call " vegetables " are actually botanical fruits, or are

otherwise full of fructose: tomatoes, squash, carrots, yams, to name a few.

With the exception of squashes, the rule is if it's green I can eat it. Good

thing I adore kale!
