Salt - Which One Are You Using?

What type of salt is best to use for healthy nutrition in general and esp. in case of food intolerances?
So far I bought the regular table salt (and assumed it is safe...) but now I saw that some of the brands have nasty additives in it. Sigh, even in salt??!!

Yes, even in salt.  After I realized that magnesium stearate (used to keep salt from clumping, I believe) is an issue for me.  I read the label to make sure all I am getting is salt.  These days I get, "Real Salt."  I have also been known to purchase sea salt, but one still must watch the label if they don't want anti-caking agents.  Don't forget if you get a processed product that the salt in that might not list ingredients.

 

Magnesium Stearate, I believe, is usually derived from corn.  Do you know that you have trouble with corn?  I am not saying you do, just wondering if you do.  I think my corn problem and magnesium stearate problem are related.

I also use Real Salt. It's a rock, mined in Utah (so I also feel good about supporting a local business since I live here), and is simply mined, ground up, and put in a package. The bonus is that it tastes like nothing you've ever had before and once you try it you'll never go back to that crap you call salt now. I'll occasionally have some sea salts in the house, but they aren't something I keep around as a general rule.

Thanks so much for sharing your insight!

My son has a lot of intolerances, and I am keeping corn out of the picture more as a precaution esp. when he is sick. That's very interesting about the magnesium stearate and corn, it makes processed foods even more of an issue, doesn't it?!

 

Thanks again!

I used to have high blood pressure. It was "cured" when I stopped eating iodized salt. I only eat sea salt or kosher. The improvement was from either:

A. I am severely intolerant to corn...learning that there is corn in iodized salt gave me one more way to avoid it.

B. people with mastocytosis are often intolerant to iodine, so the iodine could have caused the reaction.

Good luck!

I am so sorry to hear about your problems but I am glad that you at least figured out the salt issue. (Step by step, isn't it?!)

I will be buying pure salt today. Does anyone have an advice what brand to choose here in Canada? (I'll order Real Salt online, though.)

 

Thanks everyone!

I use Morton lite salt.  It has 50% sodium and 50% potassium.  I've never had a problem with it.

I use himalaya and maldon salt, table salt tastes horrible when you start using good salts.

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
