Also any food allergy can cause water retention. I have this problem too, and am by now convinced that I do not tolerate gluten. I am doing much better on gluten free diet, no diuretics any more. Still have some fluctuations every now and then, but nothing compared to what it used to be. ~~~~~~~~~~ The first thing you lose on a diet is your sense of humor. ~ Author Unknown It doesn’t matter what diet you follow… What matters is what makes you follow your diet. ~ Tom Venuto
