Cheeses are very high... check out cottage cheese! 850mg/cup!
Compare to one serving of low fat Ruffles at 180mg
So a natural food is far higher than the dreaded chips, in this case.

I think the list Curious gave is good. The worst offender is monosodium glutamate..this is in alot of foods and in high amounts.

Things like the sodium ascorbate are quite low actually, they reflect preservatives only. Products that are baked have sodium and calcium in them from the baking powders that raise them to fluffy consistency.

Do you remember me talking about this with me the dizzy out of it feeling?No one could explain it and why. Mine came more often and lasted though. All my tests for blood sugar,blood pressure,vitamin so on didn't indicate why this would be. It has been a lot better and hasn't been happening as often at all. Like I have not had an episode in awhile. I felt mine had a connection to my pain. So I don't really have a point and I'm not saying to not be concerned cause your husband may be different so I always say better safe then sorry to check in with his doc. Also my gramps gets this a lot. They did that upside down test on him which I don't know the name of cause he would get a dizzy feeling and sometimes pass out and they could find the reason. Again my point I have no idea. Just some thoughts. Hope he is feeling better and never feel bad reaching out Melody. You offer so much to us well for me for sure and I am sure others. Regardless of how big or small a problem is it is still a problem and deserves help and support.

Thanks Daniella:

Alan won't go near cheese. I don't buy it. He never like it. Cheese or anything with cheese. Alan hasn't had any salty food (except stuff that already has sodium in it), for example, yesterday I bought Turkey Kill Ground Turkey.

Do you know that there is sodium in Ground Turkey??? I could not believe it. It's only 85 mg so it's NOTHING. But whoever thought that they would put salt in ground turkey.

Alan uses ketchup, and I sometimes use canned veggies (I don't buy the no-salt kind) because it's twice the price. I just rinse the stuff in the can and the fluids go down the drain and that's where most of the sodium is anyway.

No, we eat sensibly here. Fresh stuff. But Alan has a habit at night of going to the fridge. What is he picking on. "Jello fat free or no sugar puddings. And Light yogurt. And cereal with skim milk. Don't think any of that can kill him. And I'm sure this stuff does have some sodium. I looked up dehydration and his skin doesn't look fragile or anything like that. He looks perfectly fine except for the really really bad psoriasis.

Last night I took one look at the patch of psoriasis on the side of his right leg and I said 'oh my god, it's all red and flaming". He said 'oh, just put some A & D on it. This morning, it was barely red at all. His immune system must really be in over drive. And together with the ivig, well those anti-bodies are going somewhere. He goes to the Silver Sneakers program at the gym. Says it brings oxygen to his cells. He feels better doing this.

As for him taking care of himself and being more responsible. This is the most responsible he has been in years. He can't cook, and won't learn. He thinks it's perfectly fine to take off a pair of jogging pants at night, hang them up, the next day he sprays febreze on them and he's good to go.

Me?? I'm from the old school where you change your clothes every day. So he does it every other day. Thank god he changes his shirts and other stuff. It's just the same pants he wears ever day. He thinks it's nonsens to put on a new pair of pants every day. He says : "Well, that will make more wash time for you". See, he's had to stay off of his feet for 18 months so I've been doing all the wash and stuff.

But once he gets his foot (hopefully) fixed, he'll go back to doing the wash.

No, he's the kind of guy who needs to be looked after. If anything happens to me, he'll go right into a furnished apartment and eat out every day. That's just the way he is. I can't change him at 60. He's lucky to have me and he knows it.

He, he could be a lot worse. I have a friend who has a husband who never says one single word to her. Yeah, this happens.

At least we go to Dunkin Donuts every morning and socialize with the neighbors as we walk around the corner. He's much better after being married for 27 years. I think he's an aspie. As a matter of fact, I'm sure of it.

He's the type of man who needed a wife. Thank god he met me. That's what his sister always says. lol

I will explain my problem after gang leaves,it's different. Hugs Sue

Your husband sounds like my ex step dad. When my mom got divorced from him I was over his house and he went to make a tv dinner and was reading the instruction as was going to put the whole box the outside container in to. He put my cashmere sweater in the dryer. You have to watch the condiments especially fat free products like ketchup,fat fre mayo,dressing. Of course prepared product like soups,tv dinners,breads even. The fabreze thing is so funny. My ex bf it reminds me of. He would work out at the gym and spray cologne over his sweat. I used to say now you just stink like sweat with spray. Imagine how much young guys sweat. I could smell him from outside. I am like you very clean like beyond.He is lucky to have you.
