What causes bloating and puffiness? Any over the counter remedies?

Question:

I notice swelling of the hands, legs, ankles and feet at night, also stomach feels bloated. Next morning "swelling " is not noticeable after lying flat! What can I do to prevent this and is there anything to take for it? Thank you.

Answers:
It is called general edema.. is pretty commonly noted during and premenstrual period.. Your age becomes a pretty important factor to get some degree of accuracy. You need to become aware of certain of the amino acids (essential amino acids) acting as natural diuretics..Should they be missing you would not be able to pull the fluid out of the tissues, as normally would be expected. Activity would be important also.. if you are rather sedate you would be more inclined to have this problem present.

On the other hand if you are over 40, there are other considerations also.. Those would have to be evaluated by your doctor.

water pills, and elevate your feet
