Hi Potassium foods - that are low in fiber???

I know bananas and potatoes have a good bit of K in them.  Everything thing I look up shows high fiber foods that I can't eat.  I am looking for something different.  Frankly, I am getting sick of bananas and "a potato a day keeps the doctor away" is a little hard to accomplish!

I have been able to minimize the night time cramps in my calf with the bananas (and a hot wet washcloth when they still come on).  I now have random pain in mycalves that makes me sit down that are not cramps.  It almost feels like I tore a muscle, except that hurts more constantly.

I need to get this under control...any food ideas folks?

Oh and I find it ironic that I get an ad on this site that proclaims "5 foods you should never eat" and it shows a banana...hey bananas are the B in the BRAT diet that many of us know well!

Orange juice is packed with potassium. Besides eating more foods containing potassium you might also want to avoid processed foods containing sodium. For every gram avoiding sodium is one less gram of potassium needed to balance it out.

Theoretically it should be very easy to get enough potassium. If you look at the food charts they indicate that most fruit and vegetables are loaded with potassium with very little sodium.

Back in the old pioneer days Daniel Boone & company had to periodically travel to the salt licks to get enough salt to balance the huge potassium intake from their natural foods. Nowadays with so many people eating processed foods food packed with salt we have to worry about getting enough potassium. No wonder high blood pressure is common.

Dave--yup, standing up on the leg helps some of the time.  Sometimes though I need the hot wet water on my leg to get it to release...or some aspercreme helps pretty quickly.

Babe - you mentioned that most fruits and vegetables are high in K...that's the problem...I don't eat those as the fiber content is much too much for me.  That's why I am looking for options that are not listed in the "top 15".

kazbern - the yoga I was doing does help, but when I get really low on K, I still get the cramps.  They are not all at night.  I even get them sitting still at my desk. 

It looks like I am sticking with bananas.  Thank goodness for Gerber...I can bring a jar to work and I don't have to worry about them going bad as quickly.

I've never tried it, but what about Vitamin water?

Don't forget fish and poultry. Also, melons (can use in smoothies), apricots (apricot nectar in the fruit juice section is good), and avocados. Also, talk to your doctor before using, but salt substitute uses potassium chloride. Have to be careful not to take too much, as too much potassium is also very harmful.

I suffer with night time cramps in my feet/ calves my doctor told me to drink tonic water as it has quinine in it. I have tried it a few times and it does relieve it quite a bit x

Get your blood levels of iron and folate checked. Iron and folate deficiency is associated with restless legs syndrome.

Another excellent way to obtain magnesium is to take a bath saturated with Epsom salts.
