@gingerw he is on a low potassium diet. I’ve been reading that ginger tea is recommended.
It is difficult to find low potassium foods.

Here is a link from WebMD that gives you some ideas for potassium levels in foods: https://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/low-potassium-diet-foods
And from the National Kidney Foundstion: https://www.kidney.org/sites/default/files/NKF_Guide_to_Low_Potassium_Diet_Final_0.pdf
As for myself, I have to take potassium supplements! I am on daily dialysis, and also take a strong diuretic. We find that controlling levels of calcium, potassium, and phosphorous is critical in kidney disease, and even more so when you are on dialysis.
Hoping theses links will help you, and please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with?
