QuestionQUESTION: I am 29 years old and i can't figure out why i keep retaining fluid. I'm talking like 10lbs at a time. I am kind of worried. I've always retained but its getting worse. Also i wanted to know if you could direct me to the best probiotic they make.
ANSWER: I don't understand the connection between probiotics and fluid retention. Some meds can cause fluid retention, some hormone changes can. But you should have a workup for hypertenion and or kidney problems first.
In general there isn't a big comparison among probiotics.... I tend to recommend Align

QUESTION: Well i've noticed if i eat something, right away i start to feel tightness in my hands and feet which caused them to then get very hot. It's getting to where almost everything that i eat does it to me. I can't buy clothes because of this problem. Could it be allergies? What should I do?
Answerit could be allergies... if it is right away, it sounds more like allergies.... if it is in an hour after salty food, simply fluid retention. It sounds like right away, you might try food elimination... you aren't allergic to all foods, prob a certain type, or you could try oral antihistamines to see if it helps, like Zyrtec or Claritan....
