What Causes Water Retention In The Body?
Hey doc can taking to many supplements cause u to have bloating or retainin fluids. I have arthritis and unfortunately I have to take pain medicine for the arthritis, I take Tumeric, which seems to help with the joint pain but I also take Alene about 5 a day. I take organizing twice a day plus I take a veggie laxative. I have had both knees replaced. I really try to watch what I eat. But I can t loose any weight. Could these combos make me retain fluids, cause I have like a beer belly and I don t drink???? Never mind I thought this was a free site I didn t no that it was a pay site!!!

Hi,
Water retention in your body or anasarca will occur only with heart, renal, protein loss or allergies. Other causes may not retain water in the body. These habits may not retain water unless some other cause is added to it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pusarla Naga Sai Lakshmi,
