Does anyone know of a good place to find low sodium products?!
Like, low sodium bread, rolls hamburger buns, soups, boullion, broths, and tomato products, diced or crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, spaghetti sauce,etc.
I have tried smaller grocery stores/markets, produce markets, and big chain grocery stores (Kroger, Mejier, Spartan, etc.!
I even tried health food stores with no luck!!!
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions!
Answers: They are getting harder and harder to find!

Maybe you have already done this, but try doing a google search for low sodium foods, and see if any grocery chains come up with that search. Good Luck.
Edit: My local supermarket, City Market (owned by Kroger), will special order items. Try finding foods (with brand names) that you are interested in buying and see if your local Kroger will special order for you. Ask to speak to the manager.
stores like kroger have some products, canned soups, microwaveable soups, broths, crackers. all these items will say low sodium on them. ive seen many items in kroger, but not like a whole line of different food products. if u want to find many more products, maybe jungle jims, trader joes, wild oats, whole foods,
