A member asked:
After i eat foods with salt (pasta dish, burger, chicken, popcorn) my lips turn bright red and sting a little bit. this lasts for maybe 15 minutes. is this a salt allergy or something else?

There is far more in those dishes than salt. And it’s probably not the salt that you are reacting to, unless you notice the same effect with pure salt alone. Salt is a required nutrient for the normal functioning of the body.
