Re: my son seems to crave salt???????

[Guest guest]

My son used to pour salt into his hand and eat it all day long. He loved

salt, but he hasn't shown an interest in it for a couple of months. It

may be that the longer they're on the diet, the less of these preferences

we see.

I am sure rice is ok ( we preferable use plain old BROWN RICE..nothing

else reads under the ingredients).. bit then again I didnt see the post

that you are mentioning.

As far as the salt.. we use SEA SALT (you can get it at the HEALTH FOOD

STORE)

Table salt has alot of additives.

I read somewhere, and now I wish I could remember where, that people under

the influence of opiates crave salt and spices. My son's cravings for salt

have also gone away. He also used to eat salt, and garlic powder straight

from his hand (yuk)

Shattock once reported on a study done in Great Britain, that showed

need for more seasonings which they thought was due to depressed taste.

More recently, Megson theorized on a salt craving (and, I think, a craving

for the capsaicin pepper family such as salsa) being due to a particular

biochemical need, but I don't recall the details.

My children have all craved salt at some time or other, but Elliot is the

only one I recall

consistently craving highly-flavored foods like mustard, pepper, spices. He

will eat red spices straight from the cupboard even now, 4 1/2 years into

the gfcf diet.

Hope this helps.

April,

It's me also from Mass. I was wondering if you were interested in

getting a food co-op together and maybe anyone else out there from Mass. We

could all meet once a month and get an order together and maybe make it a day

for our kids to play together. If you are interested let me know.
