Core Tip	The main treatment for congenital chloride diarrhea (CCD) is life-long substitution therapy using sodium chloride and potassium chloride. An oral potassium supplement overdose is rare but can cause life-threatening hyperkalemia in cases of intentional high-dosage ingestion. We encountered an adult patient with CCD who developed hyperkalemia due to self-poisoning of prescribed potassium chloride tablets. In patients with CCD, physicians need to consider extraintestinal issues that patients can encounter as they get older, along with the challenges they face concerning life-long diarrhea. It is especially important to be aware of any potential psychiatric disorders that may cause life-threatening sequelae.
