Is anyone on spiralactone & told to stay away from potassium rich foods such as sweet potatoes, bananas, etc?

My doctor didnt advise me to stay away from potassium rich foods. But online it says to stay away from it. Does that mean avoid it completely or just eat a little? Anyone else heard of this?

I took spiro, and never avoided potassium rich foods. My doctor monitored my pottasium levels every 6 months and i never had an issue.
