Dear Dr Sharma, I have had water retention since a surgery 10 years ago, I gained 3 stone within a year afterwards and my weight can fluctuate by 5 pounds in a day sometimes. If I poke my stomach it looks like it ripples as though it is full of fluid. Doctors say I haven’t got fluid retention so I am trying to help myself. I also find it impossible to lose weight, is there a remedy that can drain fluid from the stomach and rest of the body as I’m generally puffy all over?
Thanks
