bloating from high sodium foods

[jess_muscles]

i just ate pickled turnips which are a really popular food in my culture, and i feel super bloated now.

just wondering how long it usually takes people to lose the bloating after eating high sodium foods?

Just increase your normal water intake. You should be fine by the next day.

Really?

*goes to look it up*

Pickled Turnips
Yield: 1 pint

* 1 large beet
* 4 small turnips or 3 medium size turnips
* 3-5 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced (I used 2 cloves per jar because my belly wasn?t in the mood for garlic. But I knew it would be later, so I kept some in.)
* Young celery leaves (no measurement on the recipe. I used about 3 tablespoons, very barely chopped.)
* 1/2 cup each white vinegar and water
* 1 tablespoon coarse salt (I used Kosher.)

Boil beet in water until tender and peel, cool, slice and set aside. Drop turnips into boiling beet water for 2 to 3 minutes, take out and peel. Cut into French-fry size sticks.

Something like that??
Humm.. thats interesting


Sorry.. I'm a bit off topic - just have never heard of them before!
If you don't mind me asking (or just say 'bugger off') <-- what culture are you referencing .. Aussie?
