Have you ever used a salt substitute?
My MIL was released from the hospital today. She’s flying back home with me on Saturday and will be living us (YAY!!!! I’m absolutely thrilled) anyways. She needs to be on a low sodium diet now and the nutritionist recommended salt substitutes. I’ve never used them before so I’m not sure if they are supposed to be a 1 for 1 replacement? I’m cooking dinner for us right now. I bought the Morton’s salt substitute. I feel like it’s less salty than real salt when I add it to food? But it’s more salty than real salt when I tried it on its own. Any people have good salt substitute suggestions without sacrificing flavoring the food?

@Savy I saw that at the store today and almost bought it but it was still 260mgs of sodium per serving. I’ll have to look into iodide supplements or something. She has stage 3a kidney disease and congestive heart failure so they want her consuming as little sodium as possible. I’m going to experiment. Dinner was pretty good but definitely needed more saltyness. The salt alternative just seems to work differently when cooking so I’m going to have to work with it some.
I didn't but when my baby was starting solid we would do our family food without salt at all and if we wanted we would add it individually. We almost don't use it anymore and found other soft spices. In case that would be an option for you. Good luck

I have not. We both come from families that need more sodium. Happy she is ok! Hope you find a good option.
