Need food suggestions
So I had my 36 week check up this morning and things are looking great and I'm starting to make the changes (50% effaced but no dilation) needed for Cody's arrival in a matter of days/weeks.
I was told I need to cut out all salt. The exception she will allow is naturally salty foods (fruits or veggies). She okayed a peanut butter sandwich a day since that's usually what I have for lunch and it's a normal serving of peanut butter. She said I need to go as far as no tomato sauce, ketchup, bbq sauce, or gatorade.
So now I have no idea what to eat besides fruit and salads. Any snack or side dish ideas? Meat isn't an issue because I usually only use pepper and garlic powder on it.

Re: Need food suggestions
What about some cold salads? You could do pasta salad with veggies and chicken or an orzo salad with spinach, tomatoes, etc.

One thing I've been loving lately is whole wheat pasta with basically bruchetta (tomatoes, basil, olive oil, garlic and some balsamic vinegar) You can do it hot or cold.

Dried beans are amazing for low sodium meals - you can make burger patties or bean salad (olive oil and red wine vinegar, black beans, tomato, avocado, onion, etc). I made a middle eastern dish for Riley that was made from lentils, rice, and elbow macaroni - it was supposed to be made with tomato sauce, but I got no salt added crushed tomatoes and cooked them with onion and garlic as a substitute.
There are some great recipes here: http://www.lowsodiumcooking.com/free/Archive.htm and if you search under category "low sodium" on AllRecipes there's quite a few that come up there.
Okay, now to make it a little harder. I'm allergic to fresh tomatoes. I have just recently (in the past couple years) been able to start eating tomato sauce again without too much of a reaction. Fresh tomatoes still cause issues much faster.
