          Low Potassium Diet
          Your doctor has recommended that you follow a low potassium diet.  There are several factors that 
          can cause elevated blood potassium levels, including certain medications. Potassium is a mineral 
          that occurs naturally in many foods.  All fruits, vegetables, bread and grains, milk and dairy products 
          contain potassium.  The following food lists will help you choose low-potassium foods to better  
          regulate your blood potassium.  Salt substitutes are made out of potassium chloride and should not 
          be used.
