@red350 '...I’ve also upped my potassium ...'
Please go slow on this. When I used the word 'imbalance', that could be what makes the teeter totter rise on one end and fall on the other, or the other way around. IOW, you could, ostensibly, be supplementing too much already. As an explanation, there is hypokalemia, but also hyperkalemia. All in one patient, but a week apart. Additionally, the kidneys have to work hard to excrete excesses of whatever they can filter out that the body doesn't need or want. Potassium can be especially hard on kidneys that are functioning marginally, or that have high creatinine levels.....so please tread carefully with supplementation. Always check with your doctor about increasing/decreasing anything you take by mouth for a purpose other than nutrition.
