jayneHi,
As a 34yrold adult and going thru what i can and cannot eat due to ulcers and a hernia, the one thing i have been told is to eat Bananas as they help with replacing the Potassium that the body losses due to taking Florinef. So there is no worry in eating bananas and other fruit and vegetables that have natural potassium in them. I have to take extra potassium 600mg tabs 4 per day as well as general everyday foods to keep my potassium level up. I take dexa 0.5mg 1 1/2tabs morning, 1 tab night, Florinef 0.1mg 2tabs morning, 2tabs night, plus potassium and Somac 40mg 2tabs daily. If kids have what they want now when young it might help in preventing having to be on heaps of other medication when getting older and slow down all the side effects of getting older and living with SWCAH LIKE I DO NOW. Prevention is the best cure and we need all the natural vitamins and minerals from all foods to have abalanced diet to survive. I do use alot of alternative therapies and medicine to survive and to live life. I am a Chef, Reiki Practioner, Massage Therapist, Healer(shaman) and i live life to the fullest.
Stay healthy, Stay Strong
luv jayne
