salt sensitivity, post-adrenalectomy

[Guest guest]

My adrenalectomy was 9 months ago, and all this time I've been really

conservative about sodium intake since I had been in the habit of restricting

sodium for so long. Recently I decided to experiment a bit and give some

prepared foods a try. (Between food intolerances and salt sensitivity, I rarely

eat anything that I don't know the exact ingredients of - and never eat in

restaurants.)

Interesting results - not only did I find the taste to be unpleasantly salty,

but I had similar results to the rare occasions that I would eat in a restaurant

when I still had the tumor: bloating and 2 pounds of water weight gain, and an

increase in BP (my post-ADX average is 118/78; yesterday it was 120/89!).

Curious to know if any others here still have trouble with salt sensitivity

post-ADX. I'm taking this as evidence that watching sodium intake is always a

good idea, adenoma or no adenoma!
