I need help. My recent blood test came back with very high potassium. The doctor wants me to restrict my dietary potassium and get re-tested in a week. My problem I downloaded a list of high potassium foods and everything I eat is on it! I need suggestions for substitutions. The only one I have so far is from a friend who said to replace my peanut butter with one made from sunflower seeds. Can any of you help with more suggestions?
He is the list of what I usually eat:
Yogurt, cheese, Fish, seafood, fake bacon
Whole grain bread, granola bars,
Broccoli, Brussel sprouts, spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, baked & refried beans, potatoes, olives
Bananas, oranges
Peanut butter, fig bars, raisins, chocolate
Thanx, Janet

Before you go changing your diet, get a second test from another lab. Blood testing is highly over-rated and often erroneous. Hyperkalemia is a serious condition, a second test and/or second opinion is reasonable before going ahead with treatment.
