Salt tablets

[Salma O]

Hi! I am looking for salt that don’t make you nauseous and your stomach hurt. If you know any. Please let me know. Thanks!!!

@Salma O - what helps me is chicken broth with extra salt, pretzels/ crackers, Gatorade, olives and plain bread with salt sprinkled on.

For me, mixing salt in with porridge helps

I think putting it in any liquidy food should probably work similarly as the salt will mix in more evenly

Putting it on solid foods can definitely make it hard to get down

I only take it in food or it makes me feel sick. I use pink Himalayan salt.

I no longer salt load as such, as I personally found it unpleasant & ineffective plus it suppresses the renin-aldosterone axis long term, however I do use Trioral rehydration sachets which contain a decent amount of salt compared to other hydration drinks and are reasonably priced. One sachet makes up a litre, & it contains balanced electrolytes including potassium. If you don't like the taste it can be flavoured with a bit of fruit juice, diluting juice or other flavouring. 

I definitely could not stomach salt tablets (& I can usually eat anything as I am on omeprazole), but have no problems drinking Trioral.

I add more Himalayan pink salt to my daily rehydration mix and it doesn’t bother me. I wasn’t sure that salt was helping me until a cardiologist told me to go on a low salt diet (for a condition that would normally be appropriate for. ) It was a disaster and he agreed that I should continue with an extra salt diet.

I really like SaltStick lemon-lime Fastchews for on the go. I make sure I always have some with me. I'm always nauseous, but I don't think they make it any worse.

I also just started drinking Drip Drop ORS in place of G2 Gatorade for extra hydration. I mix it in a bottle of water instead of a cup because they are pretty strong otherwise.
