| I have been on SBD now since 7/04 my count in 8/04 was 5.2. I received my blood work today to find my Potassium had risen to 6.0 has anyone else had this problem? I plan to call my doctor tomorrow to see what to do. Anyone else who has experienced this I would appreciate some tips as I really like the SBD but don't want to continue it if I can't control my potassium without medication. :? |

| Potassium is an electrolyte. Have you had an electrolyte panel done? The correct balance of the electrolytes keeps you breathing and well. What does the Dr. say? |

| I spoke with my doctor today and he is going to run another blood test in the morning to see if it still reads that high and go from there |

| Well the new blood came back 5.7. My doctor ask me to keep a dairy of exactlly what I was eating, stay away from tomatoes, potatos and citrus and we would check the level again in a month. I have been studing the food that is high in potasium so I will limit those. I will remain on SDB as I like my new way of life. However, anyone on a "diet" or change in eating habits and weight loss should away have your blood work done, better to be safe and aware than to have an unexpected or unwanted surprise. Good Luck to all. |
