Help! Waterbloat!

[Dooley]

I competed in a bodybuilding show the other day, and like most normal bodybuilders, I went out and ate a buttload. I've eaten quite a bit more these last 2 days, and I feel full almost all the time. The big problem is that I have an UNBELIEVABLE water bloat! I've got to have like 10-15 extra pounds of water on me right now. I used taraxatone a few days before the show to get rid of all my water, and now I have a feeling I'm getting bit in the ass by it. I realize all the sodium and carbs I'm eating now are making me hold a lot of water, this is also probably a rebound from the diuretic, but how the hell can I get rid of this bloat?? I feel too full to drink very much water, and I'm for damn sure not taking any more diuretics!

Bump for suggestions?

Only thing I can think of that might help would be to sweat it out...try a sauna!!

Ya, I gave that a try today thinking the same thing you are. I guess maybe it helped a little, but not as much as I'd like. I weighed myself today, and I've gained exactly 20 pounds since my competition on Saturday. It's almost all water too!! Startin to go to my head in a very bad way! Anyone else have any ideas?? Thanks by the way!

Try Liquidex......not only a post cycle (during cycle as well) anti-estrogen, it helps with the bloat issue.

I've recently read up on it, ordered some myself, but the overall opinion is that it's strongest value is to reduce production of estrogen (hence water retention) and help maintain a harder appearance. As little as 1/4ml per day will do this.

you can read up on it in the Anabolic forum, just search on it. It's related to Arimidex from what I've read.

I'm familiar with anastrozole and its general properties, and I suppose that would help with my waterbloat, but I've never done a cycle, and am not currently on one either. I just competed in a bodybuilding show the other day, and I've been told recently that extreme dehydration causes you to overcompensate rehydration by over-hydrating. You might be right tho.. liquidex would probably help even tho this isn't estrogen related. Thanks.
