I believe the only working chat group is if you have aol, but if you post messages, everyone on the list will get them - some sooner than others, depending on the way they get the messages. What is it you're concerned about with salt?

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 > -Hi, my problem w/the salt is that I can't found it... Do you mean non-iodized salt? The only time that you need to use it is during the 2 weeks before your RAI treatment, while you are on the LID (low iodine diet). Where are you located? In the US, you can usually find it in grocery stores next to the iodized salt. It will be called salt, and will probably say something like " this salt does not supply iodine, a necessary nutrient " Cheers, Alisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat. Hi Pat! There are other Canadians on the ThyCa listserv......but many have likely been away from e-mail, trying to keep warm in -40 C temps while participating in Super Bowl parties. Re the Canadian non-iodized salt saga. Non-iodized salt is difficult to find in Canada because all salt sold for consumer use must be iodized under Federal law. While Windsor Salt has confirmed that their pickling salt is non-iodized, they have not (or maybe cannot) confirm the actual iodine content. This is an important consideration when on the low iodine diet. You may be able to find non-iodized salt at Jewish specialty food stores. Non-iodized Kosher Salt is often imported from the US for religious holidays - like Passover. You could call ahead to check and see if this product is available. Any trips planned to the US? Please let me know if you still can't find non-iodized salt. The Canadian Thyroid Cancer Support Group (Thry'vors Inc) has about 107 on-line members now and someone has got to have some salt stored for those unexpected glow moments. , Guelph tt 9/99, RAI 100 mCi 12/99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 As mentioned last week, I contacted Sifto Salt Company. Their pickling salt is Kosher and non-iodized (has no additives period). As far as I have seen they are the main company that distributes to Manitoba. They are based in Ontario so you should be able to find them their too. I asked them if their salt contains iodine and that was their response. You can e-mail to nosewrty@... (their company e-mail) to ask more questions.
