lalalisa Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Hello!All of the sudden the past couple of weeks I've been craving so much salt it's not even funny. Even now as I'm writing this it's almost 2 am (ughh! insomnia) and I'm pouring salt over each tortilla chip that I eat. It's like I can't get enough of it!!!Anyone else experience this?Just wondering, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dionna Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 i don't actually crave salt but i love it, i buy certain brands just because they have more salt. usually it makes me crave something to drink, like water or gatorade.dionna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanzanite Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 I don't crave salt. Have you had your adrenals checked because problems with that can make you crave salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardiactec Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 i'm with tanzanite on this. adrenal issues (like addisons disease) can cause you to crave salt. ...or it could be that you just crave salt! .....but i'd ask your doc if he/she thinks you should get some endocrine testing done.

Jacquie802 Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Hi!I guess I am the odd one here...I HATE salt. I don't like salt on anything. I eat potato chips, etc. but I never add salt to any of my foods!Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylortotmom Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Yep, I totally crave salt. Popcorn is one of the basic food groups for me. Carmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCsunshine Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Well I used to HATE salt. My mom would salt EVERYthing we ate when I was little and it was so disgusting to me, I'd wipe all the salt off (she has NMH, too, and she just CRAVES salty things).Now that I have NMH and have learned to like a salty diet, I do have salt cravings. Sometimes I buy soft pretzels on the boardwalk just to lick the big pieces of salt off the top (my friends gag when they watch me do that). :-/My doctor gave me a list a while ago of "salty foods" and it listed them in order from "REALLY salty" to "somewhat salty" and I think pickles were near the top of the list. So they might be a good snack for you.Other people think it's gross and weird, but I think you're normal- or at least weird just like me.:-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_dancer_grl Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Yeah, I crave salty stuff too. I salt everything and especially love tex-mex type foods because they have alot of salt in them but make sure to keep your aqua intake up.
