Last night and most days I could drink about 6-8 pints of water alone. Just before bedtime I could manage a trickle so today I have taken a fluid tablet .
I know in an half an hour I will go a lot but whilst that was the last tablet I really would not want to take these. My ankles are fine and my stomach is not too protruded - is there any thing natural out there that would make me go. Beer makes me go like hell but alas when it comes to the water no go. Thanks for any replies
Bananas are excellent diuretics. Perhaps you could do with a good liver and kidney cleanse. Try juicing beetroot, carrot, orange, lemon and ginger (in that order) and drinking a glass a day for 5-7 days. Also, if your bowels are not functioning efficiently, that can slow down the waterworks, and vice versa.
thanks everybody for your answers but to no mercy I do have diverticulitis - never knew that would cause water retention. My body now that is it is old 50+ is causing me so much no mercy. bowels, water retention, obesity, arthritic the whole nine yards. bless you all!!!!
