Hi Susan,

I'm glad your problem got solved so quickly, although I can't say I'm glad we 
share that pesky problem! 

Arguments have been flying back and forth on this list for years, about 
whether salt is Paleo or not. Personally I believe it is, judging from the lengths 
primitive peoples and animals will go through to get it. Having salt sensors 
on our tongues is another indication. If the salt sensors are there to tell us 
NOT to eat salt, we would all have died from its ingestion long ago! 

People argue that salt may be a necessary nutrient, albeit it in quantities 
far smaller than what most people eat. Nevertheless, we needn't eat iodized 
salt. I use French Atlantic sea salt from the health food store, and to me it 
tastes very different from commercial salt, and much more delicious.

Hi Paleopeople,
Thank you very much for all your replies!! I just thought of one more thing
I was ingesting: Iodized salt! I usually don't use salt but I made a stock
that was rather bland that needed some zip.
I get DH when I eat gluten (and iodine)!!
I really appreciate all the help offered on this list!

Paleobest,
Susan
