Lactose Intolerance, lactase vs ultra processed milk?

@rollingf If you get salt from sauces, do you also use table salt? Any thyroid issues?
I stopped using table salt due to high blood pressure and my serum sodium level dropped, and dropped, and fell below normal.
My TSH then went up, I’ve never had thyroid issues, 72 yo.
I started eating Nori seaweed, and TSH is back to 3 (6 months of seaweed).

@triciaot It makes sense to me your TSH went up w/o the table salt because there is iodine in most table salts. That was due to many people in the population suffering with goiters. So the powers that be added iodine to our table salt. We still need iodine. I've been wondering if people have been supplementing with it with all the different salts available now. Glad to hear the seaweed solved your rising TSH tho! I didn't tolerate seaweed well, but maybe will have to try again?

@triciaot more salt comes from prepared, canned and restaurant food than from the salt shaker….i’m trying to limit even from my sea salt grinder… for a short time my sodium went low and I used a bit more salt-but then my kidney numbers told me don’t do that ! It really is about balance as we tend to multiple changing needs .
