Does anyone have an issue with potassium? For iron I'll need to take supplement, as this is a long term issue and it's getting worse. There is some prob with hemoglobin as well.</p><p>I've read that high potassium is dangerous for kidneys and a level of K is increased when you eat a lot of bananas, potatos, tomatoes,dried fruit.</p><p>I do eat 2-3 bananas, 1-2 dried dates in a day. I love potato, so I eat them every day as well as tomatoes. I do eat a lot of raw during the day, cooked in the evening/later in a day.</p><p>I'm going to see a doc but in my country we don't have a plant based doc. So again, I'll hear that I need to eat meat or supplement. </p><p>Does anyone have a similar problems? </p><p>Thank you and I look forward to hearing your views 😊</p></div>
