[|Human|] My husband had a knee replacement 2 weeks ago today and sent all his stats crazy. He has a history of high potassium, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. He is 77 years old and we had everything under control with diet and meds. We are getting control with blood pressure & sugar but he has become anemic through the surgery. He is taking Iron pills. What food can I feed him that has lots of iron? I have steak and was told brussels sprouts but just found that they are high in potassium. How many can I give him without it raising his potassium level. On Sunday it was 5.2, anything over 6 has to be treated. We are active seniors & healthy.
