- OK. you do NOT need to watch sodium unless you have a genetic predisposition to it. - loosilu Aug 9, 15:22 6
  - That said, I always feel kind of shitty when I have too much sodium so it's worthwhile avoiding it on that front. - Reagen Aug 9, 16:21 1
    - Any extreme nutrients feel bad. WE've all been there. -- nm - loosilu Aug 9, 16:25

    - In my personal experience it makes no difference. but that's just an anecdote. -- nm - loosilu Aug 9, 16:20
  - Yes, from what I've read up on it does sound like sodium is overly villainized for many. Perhaps moreso than gluten. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 9, 15:53 1

  - Restricting salt is what they tell everyone at first. Only the few people who have that gene are affected. -- nm - loosilu Aug 9, 15:23
  - Not even medication can save him now. -- nm - Loyola Aug 9, 14:50
  - That's what the follow-up is going to determine. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 9, 14:49 2

  - Huh, I didn't know that. -- nm - David Aug 9, 14:45 1
    - My doc specifically warned me about bread for the same reason. Luckily not a big sandwich guy. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 9, 14:50
