has anyone here ever gone through a salt craving? where you wanted or felt like you needed something either salty or high in salt to eat???

I'm finding that i am needing salty things in order to feel better. is this normal???? I'm planning on calling Bangor tomorrow with all these questions that i have had all weekend. i just wish that i lived closer. it would make it so much easier for me. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I know that i have to be careful on what i eat

I've gone through a bunch of "stages" with the cravings...one of them was for salt (not sure if it's PMS or surgery related though) another was for tomatoes! Go figure!?!?!? I've always assumed that the cravings were my body lacking something, but I'm not sure how based in medical facts that truly is!

Let us know what you find out?!
Thanks and good luck!

well i called the drs office today and they suggested that i call the nuts office. i didn't get a chance so i am going to do that tomorrow but the dr office thinks that its from trying to replace on thing for another and that o should becareful because salt in large quantities isn't good for you.

So i will up date everyone tomorrow when i talk with the nut

Sounds like you're not alone. See this thread- http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/NJ/board_id,4833/cat_id,44 33/topic_id,3386865/a,messageboard/action,replies/#26326217

Perhaps your body is low in sodium and that's why you crave salt?

My first craving after surgery was for tomatoes i wanted it so bad
then it was for salad and salt.

I still crave salt occasionally but i always was a salt eater so i do watch what i eat of it.

You can always email your nut with your questions they are real good at getting right back at ya.

there email address is in the binder you have. sometimes but not always faster than a call.

Have a great day
