What Causes Fluid Retention Around Abdomen?
I m 36 years old and weigh 108lbs. Even if I m not eating a lot I still get a swollen midsection. It s been like this for the last 3 months. I m currently doing a cleanse and even though my belly seems to get flatter there seems to be pockets of fluid around my belly button area. There s no pain just fluid. If I ve been cleaning and using herbal laxitives why do I still have this bloated fluid retention just in that area?

Hello,
I think this bloating can be related to intolerance and it may be advisable to revise your diet. Also, I think you should use simethicone for excessive gas and bloating. Use probiotics to help re-establish the intestinal flora.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
