Hello all;
I'm new to the forum, but looked over this section and couldn't find anything on what I'm looking for. Specifically, I have an inner ear disorder (Meniere's) that requires me to be on a low sodium (1000mg/day) diet, and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I haven't done a whole lot of long distance hiking since being diagnosed, and all of the freeze dried stuff has a ton of sodium in it.
What I'm wondering is, I know that hiking expends a ton of fluids and sodium, and it's important to keep hydrated and I can probably double my sodium allowance while hiking, but does anyone have any ideas/recommendations?
I will be hiking the entire Georgia stretch of the AT in about a month, and would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.
