Seriously, I've been off the chain for the past two days when it comes to salt. What causes this? I'm drinking pleeenty of water

Your electrolyte balance is probably off

I don't know but I've always been a lover of salt. My mom used to call me a salt-a-holic when I was a kid. It's something I really struggle with now as even when I'm not craving salty things I end up being over on my salt anyway because so many food items just seem to be LOADED with it. I need to cut my salt down by a lot but it's extremely difficult.

I know how you feel and I wish you luck. Heck, I wish us both luck.

It's just so good! I've been trying to use Mrs. Dash more, but I do like a sprinkle of salt on veggies or a hard-boiled egg, plus I have a serious love for soup!

How would I fix this?

Ohhh I want to try Mrs Dash too. I've looked for it at the market I shop at but I can never find it. It's probably because it's an Asian market, there are a lot of things I can't find there that I want to buy. lol

And yep, I can't stand veggies without any salt them. They just don't taste good to me if they are just plain boiled or steamed with no salt.

Sea Salt is supposed to be "saltier"... Bigger pieces or something make it seem saltier.

I would think you could balance it out with magnesium or potassium.
Or drink some Gatorade or something?
