Hyperkalemia? Pregnenolone?

Hello,

I was wondering about buffered
vitamin C. I took "C Salts" for a
while, and I think that the
magnesium ascorbate in it made
me ill. Then, I took sodium
ascorbate for a while. I increased
my dose to bowel tolerance, but
may not have lowered it fast
enough, and my system is still
un-balanced. I had loose bowels
for over two weeks and I think for
one thing I depleted my
magnesium, but for some reason I
also feel like my potassium is too
high now. I'm a 50 year old male.

Could pregnenolone have anything
to do with my potassium being
high and could it have caused a problem with
my potassium levels?

I started pregnenolone 25 mg.
about 3 weeks ago, and it improved my
moods and stress tolerance. I think I should
stop taking the preg.
I was found to have the DHEA levels of a man in his 20's,
according to saliva DHEA testing.
I read that hormone
imbalance can disrupt potassium in
the body. I have a queasy feeling in
my stomach, and feel more fatigued
than I did, and depressed. Also,
I'm having wicked food cravings
again. Something is not right with
me. I think it's high K. I'm
wondering if I may have a problem
with my kidneys. I had my yearly
physical a week or so ago but have
not heard back from them yet.
Could low magnesium cause this? I
don't tolerate
magnesium/potassium pills now,
so I'm taking magnesium without
potassium and no calcium and no
high vitamin D either.

Is sodium ascorbate a poor choice
of vitamin C for any reason?

Thank you in advance for the
feedback.

Mike
