If so, it is not recommended in pregnancy due to the risk of listeria... I checked on a couple of websites and I don't think pastrami is salami... Pastrami is thin slices of meat and salami is sausage-like... I do eat the sandwiches hot, though, so I hope cooking kills the bad buggies. -- Anita -- |

I ate a lot of chippies early in pg with DS, before I knew I was pg, for the
same reason. Salty snacks just seem good at curbing nausea. I've even heard that while quitting smoking when you have a craving it helps to have a lick of salt, I'm not sure how effective it is, but I recommended it to my neighbour who is pg and quitting. -- Amy, Mum to Carlos born sleeping 20/11/02, & Ana born screaming 30/06/04 "Irrational Number" wrote in message nk.net... Does a severe craving for salt mean that I am missing some nutrients? In the way that some people who have to chew on ice may be deficient in iron... I've been very, very nauseous these past few days and have had the most horrible craving for salty, spicy things. I'm usually such a low-sodium person, it's freaking me out. Today, I've had THREE pastrami sandwiches. The last pastrami sandwich I had, I think, was over five years ago! -- Anita -- |

Salt can really help nausea. When I am quesy, salt helps a bunch. Also,
when I've done endurance events I always eat salt to keep my stomach settled. If it sounds good, go for it! Kelly #4 2/12/05 "Irrational Number" wrote in message nk.net...

When my nausea was really bad I lived on proscuitto and melon (yes I know it's a deli meat but it is so delicious.) There must be some connection between the salt & the nausea, many women get the craving. Elle |

I don't think increasing your salt intake for a while will cause any lasting trouble, likely the craving will taper off as your nausea subsides. You know what is tasty? A tart apple, like a Granny Smith, with salt sprinkled on it. That would definitely draw less attention at work than a salt lick! Elle |

Even cooked meats are only ok if they've been refrigerated for 24 hours or less since cooking. That's why deli meats are usually NOT ok, since they've been in the deli, although refrigerated, for more than the 24 hours. Jo (RM) |
