34 yo female. 182 lbs. history of asthma.

I’ve been dealing with peptic ulcer that has now become perforated along with peritonitis. I’ve been potassium pills which have been making me feel physically worst. The ER doctors don’t feel my symptoms are severe enough for further work up. I’ve lost 25lbs in the last month as my stomach isn’t processing food properly. I’ve decided to fast for a few days and consume a small meal. A skin rash near the base of my spine will usually appear after eating.

Low WBCs, RBCs, hemoglobin, and hemocrit. High eosinophil. Low potassium.

Is there a difference in how potassium is given?
