I started to take dyromine about 5 weeks ago and in the first week I put on 3.8kg by the end of the 4th week I have put on 5kg. I have now stop the diet pills and thought that maybe Im having a problem with fluid retention. I went to my Doctor but he just told me that some diet pills dont agree with everyone. this has caused me great distress. do you think that I have fluid retention? Also my son is 3 years old and some people think that I am having another one alot of the time its mistaken as my somach looks like I am 4 months pregant.. I suffered with this since my late teens.

I’m a 63 yr male, 6’2″. In the morning i’m 169 lbs, I can gain 5-7 lbs by the end of the day and the veins in my feet don’t protrude. I’m on bld Pressure meds, not diabetic, ride a bicycle, just did a cross country tour. I don’t get pitting. I have BPH and the urine dip sticks and BUN and Creatinen are normal. I’ve been told I have a fibrotic bladder. Once a month I pass some cloudy urine once or twice. Years ago I had erythromalegia. I’m over the painful stage but I still get vasodilation in the evening.

I manage to gain kilos/lose kilos in hours without doing anything. The other day, I had no car so I spent at least 4 hours walking all over town, with barely anything to eat. The next morning, I had gained 3 kilos in weight! That same night was halloween, and I pigged out with my friend, the next morning I was still the same weight, and I honestly should have gained a lot more. I do drink a lot of water, and I only urinate at least 2/3 times a day. My periods are random, and I get bladder infections a lot. I think I might be retaining fluid.

Pressure inside the abdomen could be due to a number of possible different causes.

If you have water retention in your tummy does it feel tight under your ribs and uncomfortable sitting bent over

Long-term swelling is common after injuries. Movement and massage are essential. There is a section on how to help this problem in the Waterfall Diet book (paperback version). Good luck with this.

I broke 3 metartarsall bones in my foot in August. I was in plaster for 6 weeks and have been out of plaster now for 5 weeks but my leg and foor are still swollen and discouloured. I was not given any physio but obviously commonsense told me to move my foot as much as possible i.e.excersising the ankle and walking as much as possible due to the pain. Do you know if this swelling is normal. I have tried the press test and my skin does not stay indented afterwards. The doctor said I may have pain,swelling and discomfort for a “few months”. Do you have any suggestions? Many thanks, Barbara.
