Guest guest Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Just from personal experience, my body feels different when I eat sea salt as opposed to table salt. Not sure about the other ingredients, but less is best in my book, unless you really need the iodine. The table salt I have (Mortons) doesn't have all that stuff, but they could just not be listing it.

I know the BTVC site says it's okay if it has dextrose, but does anyone know if the calcium silicate is legal? I have a real problem with being able to cut down on salt, I use an extreme amount on my food and was wondering if this could be contributing to a really bad flare up I've been having for about a week. I know it could be any number of things, but just wanted to know if anyone has any information on this. > > Thanks, > Pegi > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 When you say different, is it a better or worse different? I have two cartons of salt, one is Mortons and one is Hain and both list the same ingredients (they're both iodized salt). Regardless, I guess I'll try just using the sea salt I have for a while and see how that goes. Thanks so much for your input.

Pegi, Since you're giving up processed food, you're also giving up a stunning amount of sodium, and it will take your system awhile to adjust to this. It's probably why you're craving salt. I would not give up your salt with iodine unless you are replacing the iodine some how -- maybe eating iodine rich seafood. Elaine considered the iodine critical enough to excuse the dextrose, which is used to keep the iodine from sublimating out of the salt. You need iodine to keep your thyroid functioning properly. Calcium silicate should be legal. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Babette the Foundling Beagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just did some research/calculations and found out you'd need to eat a little over 2 teaspoons of redmond's real salt a day to get the RDA recommended DV of iodine. That doesn't seem sufficient...bummer!

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Seems to be a trend.... make things worse for everyone because we need it yesterday and lots of it... and then fix the problem by adding it bac in with a pill or some other substance. Makes no sense to me.I thought that it was illegal because of the dextrose even though it's only .04%. TO confirm, you would reccomend using salt with iodine in it? Or just eat fish, eggs, ect....-UC - 1+ yearsSCD - 8 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.Asacol - 12 pills a day Prednisone 40mg entocort With vit E mixed inBack to intro/stage 1 for now.To: BTVC-SCD From: LouisianaSCDLagniappe@...Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2010 23:16:03 -0500Subject: RE: Question about salt At 09:26 PM 3/25/2010, you wrote: I haven't used iodized salt in a year.... i'm still alive. How did the human race ever survive without iodized salt? They ate fish and other foods with iodine. Fish used to be required on Friday, you know, and during the entirety of Lent. Iodised salt (also spelled iodized salt) is table salt mixed with a minute amount of various iodine-containing salts. The ingestion of iodide prevents iodine deficiency. Worldwide, iodine deficiency affects about two billion people and is the leading preventable cause of mental retardation.[1] It also causes thyroid gland problems, including endemic goitre. In many countries, iodine deficiency is a major public health problem that can be cheaply addressed by iodisation of salt. Iodine is a micronutrient that is naturally present in the food supply in many regions. However, where natural levels of iodine in the soil are low and the iodine is not taken up by vegetables, iodine added to salt provides the small but essential amount needed by humans. Oh, and the other thing is that when they had properly rotated crops and things, iodine was restored to the soil. But our wonderful monoculture farming doesn't do that. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Babette the Foundling Beagle The New Busy is not the old busy.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Couldn't we just mix some regular table salt in with Redmond's if are wanting some iodine? I LOVE redmonds flavor...but I do have thyroid issues and the iodine (or lack of in redmonds)never occured to meMarlaSent: Friday, March 26, 2010 12:21 PMTo: BTVC-SCD Subject: Re: Question about salt I haven't used iodized salt for years.
