That's what I was thinking. I will definitely check my blood sodium levels more often as I lower my salt intake, so I can increase my intake as soon as possible if something goes wrong....
But if you cut it down to zero added NaCl, this might be one to keep an occasional eye on if you ever get tests, or get related symptoms.
Never knew that sodium retention is related to thyroid. My T3, T4 and TSH blood lecels were always perfectly in the middle of the reference range, but I have always felt I have typical hypothyroid symptoms for some reason.It would probably depend on how good your thyroid/glucose oxidation is. If you are producing ample CO2, your body can easily retain enough sodium from the foods you eat that naturally contain it so that you don't need any extra sodium chloride, but if you have high estrogen, you'll dump salt and might experience several health troubles related to sodium deficiency like insomnia, excess serotonin secretion, seizures, etc if you don't have additional table/sea salt in your diet.
Caffeine is one of the few supplements that actually makes me feel better. I love this substance!I notice that caffeine( but not coffee) is beneficial for gut inflammations.
I just have started using glycine for this purposeWhat would protect gut mucosa?
Great tips, thank you! Much appreciated! I'm using pregneolone regularly, but progesterone and thyroid is very hard to obtain in my country....
If you have hypothyroidism and aldosterone issues supplementing pregnenolone, progesterone, or thyroid can increase your sodium retention. As a holdover, you can just increase your salt intake if you don't have pregnenolone, progesterone, or thyroid. But correcting thyroid is the best plan for long term success.
This is very possible, I always had very bad reactions to the probiotic supplements (before giving up on them). Actually my reaction to probiotics is a bit similar to my reaction to salt. Have to look into this issue.Not being able to tolerate salt could be a sign of gut dysbiosis. Salt slightly wears at the gut mucosa and can cause bacteria to translocate if the gut health is poor.
