Sorry I don't know about acidophilis as I didn't take it.

LMN, as for the potassium I am trying not to stress about this too much as firstly you need around 3000mg a day for your health and secondly it is just too difficult to keep track of. According to a few ladies on here potassium is in most things just not listed on the packs. So I try to avoid any high potassium foods (a quick google gives you an idea what they are) and anything else just goes towards my daily recommended amount. There are some foods that state that they are not suitable for those on a low potassium diet.

Swiss cheese is relatively low sodium, as are some types of goat cheese. Be aware, though, that ALL cheese has quite a bit of sodium AND protein in it, so you'll have to keep your portion size very small - 30g is considered one serving. I could never manage more than one serving of cheese a day without going over for protein and sodium.

ok hun thanks, do you know what range of potassium we have to stick to in our diets anyway ??

i sometimes have a slice of lite jarlsburg. it has 50 cal, 7 g protein 100mg sodium and 2 or 2.5 g fat. That on 1 small corn tortilla from whole foods is a good 100 cal addition to a meal and yummy too!

There's a range if you're doing the IG diet (don't know what it is I'm afraid!) but not on the LE diet.

Surgena are you around? I think you're on MFP too, right? Could you help LMN7 w/this? I'm in the U.S. and I'm not sure of U.K. conversions so I don't want to lead anyone astray...

I'm a yankee doodle so it took me a while to get used to the different way of listing things here.

I actually haven't edited a lot of things I put in but I'm staying pretty consistant-samey-same in my meals now, so I very highly doubt they take me over.

But, anyway.

If something says it has 0.14g of sodium, that would be in mg as 140mg.
If something says it has 0.1g of sodium, that would be in mg as 100mg.
If something says it has 0.06g of sodium, that would be in mg as 60mg.
If it says 0.78g... that would be 780mg... RUN AWAY!

I hope that makes sense!

So, like mentioned earlier, if inputing things on there, you should change it to the US mg for sodium.

I haven't done that yet. I probably really should... with work and child, I can't find the time to sit and input stuff! But you've reminded me I probably should.

I don't think so, unfortunately. You either should just input all your own meals so you know they are correct, or edit other people's entries to correct the sodium.

I went through my list (since I am not varying what I eat very much right now) and luckily only had to correct a couple things.
