703.0. "Salt problem" by DPDMAI::HUDDLESTON () Tue Nov 12 1991 16:14

    Does anyone else have a problem with salt?  In the last few weeks I've
    noticed that if I have very much salt, I feel puffy in my face and
    mouth.  
    
    The problem comes with hidden salt in pre-made foods.  I guess my
    question is, how do people avoid it, and does anyone have some tasty
    recipes for no/low salt diets.

I've found as long as I keep my water intake up (2 quarts a day)
I don't have a problem retaining water as a result a salt.  If I
have a particularly "salty" day (like if I go out for Chinese - 
which is loaded with sodium) I just drink more water.

D!

    But be aware that water retention due to too much sodium is a known
    problem for lots of us fatties.....
