Experiencing sides effects using potassium glucanate.

As of April I was experiencing IBS symptoms which prevented me from absorbing necessary potassium, but the glucanate cause sides effects even though potassium levels are not that high, I've had natural potassium higher.

I'm looking for a type of potassium supplement that has the lowest side effects and is easily absorbed for someone who is still recovering from IBS and isn't absorbing potassium from food.

I even tried eating a large banana and a half with lunch without supplementation and two days later potassium levels were bottomed out and the return of low potassium symptoms.

I've heard citrate is basically the same except for better absorption. I'm just tired of the burning sensations and skin reactions to the glucanate when my levels are not even that high.

Thanks, Systemlord.
