I I have chron’s disease and need advice On taking k tabs for treating my condition . I am 88 years old and have had Chrone’s disease for approximately 45 years. I had surgery Several times over the years and have Avery small bowel and no colon. I have lived a interesting life and been able to control the ‘flair ups” most times but it seem my soma h is getting smaller and have to limit my food intake . When I have a “flair up” now, a full bowel pushes on my Lungs and I do not get onough oxygen. My doctor has pre scribed k tabs.

I would recommend you to get your potassium levels checked before taking k tabs keeping your age in mind it can have an adverse effect on your heart like rythm abnormalities and all do get a baseline ecg done and serum potassium levels done before starting the tabs
