It's aquarium salt which helps with infections, and to prevent bacterial infections as well. You can find it at your petstore, it's not just table salt, haha please don't use that!

I wouldn't use regular kosher salt or aquarium salt for bloating--only for open wounds/tail damage. It's possible he was referring to epsom salt, which acts as a gentle diuretic and helps a lot with constipation. This is a very old thread though, so it is unlikely we'll get confirmation.

On a side note, that is probably the most disturbing bloat picture I've seen in awhile.

Yeah, that looked terribly, terribly uncomfortable. Made me squirm in my chair. :/

I didn't know about Epsom salt as a diuretic. That's good to know.
