I have another question...potassium issues. I LOVE bananas....I could go through 2 bunches in a week no problem and now I am scared to eat them because they say that too much potassium on Spiro is not good for you. So some input would be good on this issue.
I'm a banana eater too and knew about the potassium thing. I haven't had any problems so far. My Dr. has me do blood tests every few months to check potassium levels. So far, even with the bananas, no problems. But this is a pretty good read on hyperkalemia and it's symptoms to look for just in case. http://www.medicinenet.com/hyperkalemia/article.htm
