Pickles are great for curing a craving (when you're not sure what you want). Sometimes when I eat one of those big dill pickles I get a belly ache. As far as the band is concerned, as long as I chew well I don't have any problems. They are loaded with salt though and you might be more likely to retain Water. The vinegar is good for you.

I eat them quite often and never had any problem whatsoever. Just remember to chew them well (as with all other stuff you eat...)

I love sour pickles:hungry: , but I do not eat the skin. Like with alot of things, I get scared and just spit it out so it doesn't get stuck.

I have not had a problem with pickles. I ate one pickle spear very slowly. I have also eaten 3 or 4 hamburger slices slowly.

1 pickle is around 1800 mg sodium. (I am on a 2000 mg sodium restriction because of kidney problems.) American Heart Association recomments EVERY person eat less than 2300 mg sodium. That is almost equivalent to one pickle. So you decide if it's healthy or not. lol
