Hi

You have to look hard, but the info is available, but mostly American, so you have to convert ounces and cups to gms.

The cookbooks and online recipes show the total amount of potassium per serving and there are tables showing the amount of potassium in types of fruits, vegetables and common things like ketchup.

It is all complicated in that I am also on a low fat diet,.

I do have one meal a week where I just eat what I want, within reason.

Wow!

That shows just how easy it is to take things for granted.

Aren’t you seeing an NHS dietician for this?

This may contain some handy info for you:

Hi

Thanks for that Mups, yes, I use that and others.

Locally there is a long waiting list for NHS Dietician referrals.

My local NHS Trust is in special measures and has over 600 vacancies.

My GP told me yesterday that they have to wait 12 to 15 weeks for the results of an outpatient CT Scan.

finishing my last bowl of turkey mince/small already cooked prawns/mixed vegies from individual packs/noodles soaked in boiling water and drained

add salt to season on each dish served and a nice sweet asian sauce of your choice. Tomorrow will continue the recipe with pork mince instead - I can feel the urge for my more spicy bechalan ; large prawns and small runner beans and good hot pure chillie paste - will post the full instructions when I start that one! - its a bit messy to prepare but the taste is very distinct and quite different from the rest - [ are bechalan [prawn] paste cubes available in blighty? - they come in sealed foils and carboard package? and have the recipe on the package

now another variation - like this one throw anything in!

this time: [in a large wok preferably]
chopped sausages x 3/4 - small one bites - can’t remember what kind now?
pork mince - 500 gms
two onions sliced
all first cooked in 6 tablespoons of oil almost

meanwhile - broken dry noodles into bowl - add 3 pkts or more of frozen mixed vegies - pour on boiling water to cover - let steam

finish cooking meat then drain noodles and vegies and
Add to meat and on low heat mix all ingredients- let simmer for a while but almoset ready to eat really
add extra salt if needed and asian sauce sprinkled

that dish makes about six full size plated meals - store in fridge not freezer
