in which alex's body is a special snowflake

Doctor's orders: Eat more salt.

(Also drink more fluids, and when moving from lying down to sitting or sitting to standing move extra slowly, and take it easy at least the next few days. Because doctor says the lightheaded shit is probably just a variation on the standing-up-dizzy I am accustomed to having, which makes it a low-blood-pressure problem.)

I hate salty foods.

(Except salt-and-vinegar Pringles. Those are okay. But they're actually not all that salty, because the Pringles makers have responded to the fact that most people are supposed to eat less salt!)

So. Rec me high-sodium foods that don't taste salty?

(I realize this may be a fool's game...)

The blogs Just Hungry and Just Bento have some great Japanese (and other) recipes. Some of the ingredients are pretty specialized, and she often suggests substitutions. I really recommend at least trying to get hold of some miso paste (the main flavoring in miso soup) as well as soy or fish sauce if you're trying to get salt into your diet. It's delicious, it can be added to so many things, and it goes a long long way.
