Attempted salt load but vomited

Hi,

I'm new here and this is my first post. On Tuesday I started Iodoral and the co-supplents (ATP cofactor, magnesium, selenium, etc).

I read the threads here about people starting on higher doses, so I started off with 50mg of Iodoral. I started getting headaches later that afternoon, which happened on the following two days as well, so I decided to try the salt load today (1/2 tsp Celtic salt in warm water).

I felt funny after the first small sip, and after the second sip, I knew I was going to throw up, and I did! Now I'm scared to do it again. I don't have a headache today, so maybe I won't need to salt load, but the new symptom today is I'm very bloated. It's not PMS as it's too soon in my cycle for that.

Is there an alternative to the salt load? Should I just eat the salt and drink water in between instead of drinking the salt water?

What's the best way to get rid of the bloating?

Thanks!
Linda
