2. Salt Cravings are Very Common
Cravings are usually the body’s way of trying to tell you that there’s some kind of deficiency going on in your body; for example, pregnant women who start to crave soil usually point to the fact that they’re lacking some minerals in their body, including salt, and a few changes to their diet is more than enough to make the craving go away.
In the same way, developing a sudden salt craving is very common with adrenal insufficiency, and it’s one of the most common symptoms – this is because of the increased urination that comes with adrenal deficiency and the highly decreased levels of sodium in the body because most of it is going out of the body through the urine.
When you have an adrenal deficiency, your body is expelling most of the salts and minerals it takes in – and will constantly crave salt in order to try and replace it again.
