[|AI|]  Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern. The reason for high potassium is not because you are eating all such stuffs. The underlying etiopathology may be different. Once the investigation is done we can come to conclusion as to what is the reason for the hyperkalemia. Till that time I advise you to take as much water as you can take. It will dilute the effect of the hyperkalemia. Diuretics can help reduce the high potassium level. Depending on the amount of high potassium you have. But please take the diuretics under doctors guidance. Avoid taking coconut water, as it is the high source of potassium. I will be happy to answer your further concern you can contact me here, or you can contact me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.  Thank you, ChatDoctor
