A member asked:

What diet is recommended with lithobid (lithium carbonate)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No particular diet: Salt will lower lithium levels. Diuretics, nonsteroidal analgesics (advil, ibuprophrn, etc) & fluid loss (diarrhea, sweating, vomiting) can raise lithium levels. No special diet required.
