    Can low potassium levels cause digestive issues?

    Yes, low potassium levels (hypokalemia) can cause digestive issues such as constipation or abdominal cramping. Potassium is essential for muscle contractions, including those in the intestines, and deficiencies may slow digestion. Correcting potassium levels through diet or supplements can restore normal gastrointestinal function.
