[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 3 year old loves pickles and would eat them at every meal if we would let him (kosher dill specifically). Right now we are limiting him to one pickle a day, although the pickles are kind of large.

I am concerned about him eating too much sodium. Is this horrible or okay?[/quote]

First, the sodium doesn’t have to be a big deal, because you can make or buy low-sodium pickles. See: https://feastgood.com/low-sodium-pickles/

But craving salty pickles could be a symptom of Addison’s disease or some other endocrine problem, so it might be good to insist on tests for that:

If your son is craving the taste of vinegar, that could be a symptom of a fungal infection, blood sugar problems, or a deficiency of magnesium or some other mineral that’s present in vinegar:

Or a sign of someone who likes the taste. I have none of these issues and have loved pickles all my life. [/quote]
