Dietary question. As I understand it, while taking Prednisone the body holds on to sodium and excretes potassium. I have been told to cut down on sodium so have substituted a no-salt replacement that is mainly potassium. Is this a good idea or should I not avoid salt?

Too much potassium can affect your heart rhythm. Be careful.
