Oh dear--that's actually really dangerous. I have chronic low sodium/chloride levels. I'm under doctor's orders to consume LOTS of salt and POTASSIUM.
My ultimate restorative--organic soup/broth. Seriously. Keep cans/cartons of organic soup in your cupboard because when my chloride levels are really low, about all I can manage is to open a can or tetra of something safe and just drink it straight up until I feel normal. It makes me normal really fast.
Pickles and other salty crap make me feel ill.
So, soup is my ultimate quick fix and NOT HOMEMADE.
Make a habit of deliberately using the salt shaker, especially on veggies and other SF staples, etc.
Can you use things like soy sauce? That's really high sodium stuff! However, nothing is saltier than salt, I maintain--so make a point of using it. I use iodized sea salts, predominantly. I love carrots, beets, spinach, zucchini, spaghetti squash, mushrooms with all kinds of salt and the potassium balances out the chloride so I don't get bloated. Sodium and potassium work concurrently.
If you eat grains, i.e. rice, use salt.
In a pinch, though, organic soup/broth is a lifesaver, so it's always in my cupboard.
Kate.
