Where can I find a low sodium recipe for macroni and cheese?
I am on a low sodium diet. Here is why–I have quite a few health problems–including, but not limited to, hypothyroidism, hypokalemia (low potassium), hyperaldesteronism (overactive adrenals), hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), kyphosis (a form of scoliosis), Fibromyalgia, major depression, Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Sleep Apnea, Premature ventricular contractions, Narcolepsy, severe Edema issues, and no telling what all else! On top of all of that, I was born deaf-blind due to Congenital Rubella Syndrome–mom got the german measles when she was preggers with me. So as you can see, I got quite a few problems……so it is imperative that I follow a strict diet with as little sodium as possible.
I hope somebody can help point me in the right direction so I can finally enjoy macroni and cheese again. TIA!

Hi. There is no need for a special recipe. The salt in mac-cheese is in the cheese.
Do not add any to the water you cook the pasta in, obviously, and use a no sodium pasta.
Similarly, you can get low sodium cheeses.
Now the bad news – it will not be the same. If you can replace the sodium with potassium salt this may be help with the taste but make sure you check that this is not going to cause medical difficulties.
Any recipe will do, just elminate or greatly reduce the amount of salt.
