Don't know for sure, but strongly suspect mom's body would simply adjust 
the breastmilk to contain the standard amount of potassium (by using 
potassium from mom's own stores).

Is it possible for mom to try the low potassium diet while continuing to 
pump, and get the lab to test her pumped samples prior to chelation to 
see whether the potassium is within the acceptable range?


Best wishes,

Sarah
