LOL I am reading your reply right now I cannot drink our tap water without getting diarrhea. I finally chased it down to parasite in our city water. I went through all the reports on the City Water sites, they lowered the amount of parasite which causes diarrhea to a level for normal people not to get diarrhea. I am immune challenged, I have Igm deficiency far below nornal levels. I started to drink only microwaved water (3 minutes) and bottled water and the diarrhea from that cause stopped!

My potassium is regularly tested by my hemo/onc. I was sent years ago to see a diabetes nutritionist. After an hour of discussing what I can eat and cannot eat, her eyes started to get big! Anyway, I had been eating one banana a day because I felt better. But after eating 1/2 a day, I did not have enough potassium. My hemo/onc told me I had to one whole banana ever since and I have been sticking to that!

I wonder if we are two peas in a pod! LOL
