@msmarymac I use NuSalt which is a salt substitute which is potassium chloride rather than sodium chloride. Taste like salt to me!

Good idea, @itasarah. NuSalt with potassium chloride sounds like it works well for you to give you that “salt” taste.
@msmarymac mentions bloating and bradycardia. I am not medically trained and learning as I navigate my own health challenges. I read bradycardia related to potassium levels so am curious about what her doctor thinks here.
Here is what Mayo Clinic says about salt substitutes:

It sounds like salt substitute (NuSalt) works for you. I am curious, and it will help msmarymac & others sort through…..why do you avoid salt? What guidance has your doctor provided?
