ive suffered from salt dehydration first hand,
in the summer when its hot and if ya do moderate exercise cf people loose a hell of a lot of salt via sweat and this in turn causes dehydration,
ive been told by my cf term to increase my salt intake particuarly in the summer via salt tablets or just have more teaspoons of salt in ya daily diet

The salt goes out through our sweat. If you don't have enough it can make you very ill. I have passed out from not having enough salt. I have been told all my life to make sure I get lots of salt. It won't hurt us because it gets sweated right out so you never have to worry about having too much but you do have to worry about not having enough. I sometimes can't eat enough salt so my doctors have put me on sodium tablets. You don't need to cut back your salt. Talk to your doctor about how much you need, they would be the best you advise you. From my own experience we CFs need lots and lots of salt. One big thing is salt keeps people without CFs mucus thinner than ours. Salt is very very important to CFs.
