RETAINING WATER, how do you get rid of water retention?

Oddly enough, by drinking a lot of water. Your body retains water when you dont drink enough, or when you eat enough salt to cause it to become dehydrated. It holds onto whatever fluids it has...\nTry drinking a LOT of water...60 oz per day....

Sweating isn't the only way your body sheds water; it also comes out in urine and especially when you exhale. But there is more to losing weight than losing water--especially since you can gain it back by drinking.

If you have liquid retention in your ankles, legs or arms, then compression bandaging could be one way to reduce this problem (ie using bandages to wrap your problem area using a certain amount of pressure, hence forcing the water elsewhere and to be slowly absorced)\n\nKeepin the certain part elevated slightly above the body can also help.\n\nLastly, massaging the area can help the body absorb the water.

Good for you!  The more water the better your body flushes out.  But do try some cranberry and also apple juice.

I have this same problem. I think the best way is to exercises. you have to do aerobic exercises that make your whole body sweat. And eat a lot healthier and less than what you are eating now. some of it in front can be bloating so you might want to also detoxify your body to make it go away. this is stuff they told me and so far everything has been working. I've lost about 12 pounds this year. oh and don't drink soda.

This is a lot of info but if you follow it you'll see improvement. Fluid retention is often caused by allergies, persistant edema may be caused by kidney,bladder,heart or liver problems. So you may want to have some tests ran to rule out those factors. Go to your local health food store and ask for free-form amino acid complex(sometimes edema is caused by inadequate protein assimilation), SP-6 Cornsilk blend from Solaray(this contains corn silk and other herbs that help the body expel excess fluids.Take two capsules three times daily).Vitamin B complex taken with vitamin B6 will reduce water retention. 50-100 mg of B vitamin twice daily with meals and 50 mg of B6 three times daily. Also to replace minerals lost with the correction of edema:Alfalfa, good source of important minerals. It also contains chlorophyll a potent detoxifier. Take 2,000-3,000 mg daily, in divided doses. Calcium(1500 mg daily) and magnesium(1000 mg daily), silica(a natural diuretic) as directed on label. Make sure you eat more raw foods. Eat plenty apples, beets, garlic, grapes and onions. A high fiber diet is very important. For protein eat eggs, broiled white fish, and broiled chicken or turkey. Eat small amounts of buttermilk, cottage cheese, kefir and low fat yogurt. Use kelp(seaweed)to supply needed minerals, avoid alcohol, animal protein, beef, caffeine, chocolate, dairy products(except those listed)dried shell fish, fried foods, gravies, olives, pickles, salt, soy sauce, tobacco, white flour and white sugar. Exercise daily and take hot baths or saunas twice a week, avoid stress. But make sure a doctor keeps track of your condition.

There really isn't a healthy way to do that!\n\nIf it's water weight, you can try a diuretic to help... and of course, extreme diet & exersize might help.

There are over the counter meds like midol which contain a painkiller and something to reduce water retention called a diuretic. Your physician can direct you to stronger meds, like progesterone or anti-imflammatories. You could try over the counter ibuprofen which is an anti-inflammatory.

It is not a common side effect, though it is considered a rare one. I would call your doctor, as water retention is a rare side effect of this medication

Water retention can be caused by a malfunctioning of the kidneys. However, in most cases it is not a signal that you have kidney problems. Water retention can be a sign of renal hypertension, high blood pressure or heart problems so a check up with your doctor could help eliminate some worries. Diuretics are used to treat virtually any disorder in which there is an excessive build-up of fluid in the body. They may also be used to decrease high blood pressure (hypertension) and to treat overdosage of certain drugs.

Um, it is a misnomer that drinking more water gets rid of edema, it just produces more edematous pathology. Remember water follows sodium. There are over the counter diuretics, but use them cautiously. Lasix, which is actually a naturally occurring medicine is the best thing to use, you then need to take some kind of potassium supplement, because with the excretion of water and sodium, your potassium will be excreted as well. It is always very wise to check with a doctor, they are trained professionals and can discover the underlying problem causing your edema. Solving the underlying problem is what you need to have done, otherwise you are simply treating symptoms, not causes.
