Guest guest Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Sea salt is better for you. Unrefined is best. Celtic is best. There is iodine in sea salt naturally, along with dozens of trace minerals, however it is an extremely small amount - not comparable to supplementation in table salt. You can buy iodized sea salt. However, I do not know if you can buy iodized celtic sea salt. Also, it might have that dextrose. I've been trying to find a legal iodine supplement unsuccessfully. I'm quite deficient. I eat boiled cabbage - can't get enough. I checked out that iosol - it's from kelp. but it says it's been purified? can I take it? is it legal? Kim, what is the source on your iodine drops? Thanks guys, That sounds like a good idea to me. I have thyroid issues, too, but Morton's etc just taste terrible to me now I've been using Redmond for so long. 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 me Marla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Oh yeah, Pegi, I forgot. Salt is classically considered bad for ulcers, which I found to be so true with mine. I really don't know if this means that it could be contributing to your flares because it is legal, but if you have ulcers especially, I might try and cut down. When I do eat salt, I usually eat it separately from my food, I will take a grain or two of celtic sea salt and put it under my tongue. sublingual absorption is better. I let it dissolve there. helps me much, satisfies cravings better for me too. best, Good catch, no wonder i'm still alive! -UC - 1+ yearsSCD - 8 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.Asacol - 12 pills a day Prednisone 40mg entocort With vit E mixed in Back to intro/stage 1 for now.To: BTVC-SCD From: luckycharms@...
