A member asked:
I've been craving salt a lot lately, i literally eat spoonfuls of salt, is this linked to graves' disease? or are there other reasons?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Adrenal insufficient: Salt craving can be a symptom of adrenal insufficiency. The most common cause of this is autoimmune related, which is what causes graves disease. You are therefore at a higher risk for developing this disorder. Graves disease by itself should not cause you to crave salt.
