Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Hello: I am new to the group. I recently had surgery for stomach cancer. The cancer is a rear cancer that was found by accident. The medication I am taking for it not to come back has several side effects but one of it is retaining water. Does anyone have any ideas of how to reduce the water from my system naturally. Have tried lemon in water which has worked some. Best Regards;Nora Fraser "A well behaved women never made history" Life is too short to worry about the small stuff!!

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Hi Nora, I'm sorry about your illness, I'll add you to my prayers. I have taken asparagus for water retention and it works wonders. Also apple cider vinegar, fenugreek, also dandelion leaf tea - all have worked well for me and I retain a lot of fluid for some reason, always have. I truly hope you are able to overcome this! I'm sure you will ) Take Care, Tori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Hello Nora: The number 1 Nutrient for *Stomach*(esp. after surgery); is: *BIOTIN*; which is one of the *B-Vitamins*. You ask your M.D, for a Prescription for *BIOTIN* OR you buy the *BIOTIN* in the Pharmacy. Nora; the *BIOTIN* is very very important; I urge you to buy it today and to begin to take 1 pill of Biotin per day; everyday. The other Nutrients used to treat this condition; including *Water- Retention* also known as *Edema* are: A, *Thiamine Vitamin B1*; which is found as a single Vitamin or *Thiamine Vit. B1* is found in any *Vitmain B-Complex pill*(avail. at Pharmacy). B. *Potassim Tablets are a must for this; avail. OTC; very inexpensive OR drink plenty of Citrus Juice or eat Citrus-fruits. C. *Pro-Bitoics* are very important; buy tablets or eat Yogurt. Summary: *BIOTIN*; VITAMIN B-COMPLEX W/THIAMINE B1; POTASSIUM PILLS; AND PRO-BIOTICS AND/OR YOGURT OR BUTTERMILK. *BIOTIN IS SO IMPORTANT. Note: *BIOTIN is very difficult to find in food; so get the tablets.* from A, herbal remedies , canarsiemom3 wrote: > > > > Hello: > > I am new to the group.
