One who is close to me has Cirrhosis so I will follow this site for any hints and tips that may help.

That is all that I wish to say at the moment.

Hi,

Thanks for the speedy response.

As a newby I have what is probably a basic question if you will forgive me;

is there a salt substitute that is also low in potassium as well as sodium.

We don't use any salt at all in hubbies food (don't cook with it and only adds a tiny amount on chips occasionally) - he's never been in the habit of adding salt to meals. He flavours his food with pepper instead of salt.

You do get used to having little or no salt . I can no longer tolerate things which are too salty , bacon and crisps , are now so disgusting to me . It takes a small to,e but you do adapt .
