Title: Craving salt on Spiro?
Post by: krobinson103 on December 14, 2017, 03:05:43 PM
Hello,

Since I started on Spiro I've looked at anything salty and absolutely craved it. Is this normal? I usually like salty food but not this much!

Thank you.

It's not uncommon to crave salt on spiro.  You might want to check in with your doctor to make sure your electrolyte levels are okay.

I have had no such craving.

Spiro causes your body to lose salt along with water.  Also, your body craving a substance such as salt is a signal that it needs more of that substance for optimum health and functioning. 

So, you are not eating enough salt to compensate for the salt loss caused by spiro.  Eat more salt.

I don't particularly crave salt but I've been told that I am sodium deficient by at least two doctors and to use salt in my meals more often and so I do
