Hi Everyone,

I am currenlty taking folic acid, kelp and chromium and I seem to be retaining a lot of fluid.

I am drinking a lot of water (almost 2 L a day) and only one coffee.

I am not on any other meds.

I can't even take my rings off - this has never really happened to me.

I am currently getting 'diet food' delivered (1200 calories a day). Could the preservatives be causing this? I have had this food before and can't remember fluid retention.

I am also excercising more...

Thanks a lot,
Brooke

I am wondering if there are alot of refined carbs in your food or salt. When I eat things that are refined or have sugar in it, I puff up like a marshmellow. Also, where are you in your cycle??

I would also try to up the water. I drink about a gallon a day.

Hormone imbalance is a major cause of it - pretty common in us PCOSers. If you added some natural progesterone cream in the second half of your cycle you would probably find that that helps.

Thanks - I *may* have found the cause...my company provides a masseusse every thursday - so I went for a mini 20 min massage & mentioned that I had bad sinus that causes pain all down the back of my neck and into my shoulder blades. She ended up doing some lymphatic drainage and said I was very puffy all around my lymph nodes. So i think it could be from the sinus.

Thanks for the replies.

Cheers
Brooke
