My son has been diagnosed with severe low potassium. He had been drinking a lot of coconut water. He has had pee very often. He is 48 years old and the Dr, finds everything else to be normal. He does have IBS which the coconut water seemed to help. Could the coconut water cause his body to flush out the potassium. We know the coconut water is very high in potassium. His doctor has him on pills but they have not so far brought the potassium level up.
We are wondering if you have any suggestion as to the cause? He does not drink alcohol or do drugs.
