More potassium supplementing questions for Val

[Guest guest]

Dear Val,

A couple of months back you looked at some of my labs and said that my potassium

looked low.  So before I go Internet shopping I would like to know how much

should I supplement?

I saw recently in a post that you think that potassium and sodium should be

supplemented together.  I am currently taking 1/2 to 1 teaspoon full of Celtic

Sea Salt per day.

For information here are the labs I sent you before :

Blood tests : 10/08/09

Sodium 139 mEq/l    135-145

Potassium 3.45 mEq/l    3.7-4.9

Calcium    91 mg/l    90 - 107

                2.28 mmol/l    2.25-2.67

Blood tests : 23/09/09

Sodium 141 mmol/l    136-145

Potassium 4.1 mmol/l    3.4-4.5

Chloride    103 mmol/l    98 - 107

Urine tests : 23/09/09 (Over 24H)

Sodium 140 mmol/24H    40-220

Potassium 93 mmol/24H    25-130

Chloride    135 mmol/24H    170-255

Thanks for any help you can give me.

As electrolytes change VERY quickly, you woul duse these labs as they are most

recent. From here oyu need more salt and potassium both. I would start wiht no

less thna 3000mg potassium with these labs and then in 1 week increase salt

another teaspoon. Then in a week get a new electrolyte panel to see what it is

doing.
