A member asked:
Sea or table salt for pots? what about trace minerals? appetite ravenous but still losing weight, consult md? or normal? 225 down to 208 in about a wk

Any salt works: By POTS - I assume you mean Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome- in that case the type of salt will not make a difference - it is the increased salt intake and "fluid intake " that helps. Most people on a regular diet should not be deficient in trace minerals. If the weight loss is unexplained it is a good idea to see your doctor
