hi all, reading the last few comments this is where my husband is basically at. He is on diuretics but not been told a low sodium diet but I understand it is needed. We don’t use a lot of salt but is there some kind of check sheet that anyone has been given? Wishing all a healthy future. Thanks in advance.
low sodium diet: hi all, reading the... - British Liver Trust

Hi. Take a look at the liver trust web site under diet and cirrhosis. There isn't a 'tick sheet '. You may get a dietician appointment if you ask, we didn't get one when we asked but were given the advice by consultant which was avoid processed foods, ready meals and cook from scratch, reduce salt as much as you can. Eat a Mediterranean diet and avoid red meat. Also to drink coffee. Hubbie was on diuretics but I guess it depends how severe your ascites or oedema is or if you have other complications as to whether you are given a dietician. You can get a bit obsessive checking lables. Good luck.
I quit alcohol easily but salt!!
I just love salt. On chips like snow.
But yes everyone I've met in the field of the liver says that salt intake should be restricted.
