HRT and bloat

[Mr.X]

I have been on HRT for almost 2 years now at a dose of 300 mg every 2 weeks of test cyp without any time off. I have regular checkups/blood work and everything is normal (bp, cholesterol, PSA, etc). I have gained about 30 lbs in the two years (althought I'm not as lean) for pretty good progress without raising any suspsicions.
However, it seems like I'm gradually getting more bloated, in my face and especially in my gut. I ate all kinds of junk food over New Year's weekend, but even after several days of eating clean, the bloat isnt going down much.
I had always thought that with the very low does of test used in HRT bloat would not be a problem, but now I'm wondering if I'm just going to slowly keep getting a more distended gut.
Any thoughts?

Usually 'bloating' will not go away in mere days, it can take up to 2 weeks to fully get back to where you were before the sodium+carb pig-out. Drinking distilled water for 3-5 days, increasing Vitamin C intake and adding glycerin will help the process along

I suggest looking into adding light AI to your HRT - only with doctor's advise of course. Plus, clean up your diet, increase potassium, taurine and vitamins+minerals intake. Also, ask your doctor about adding HGH to your HRT.

Here's why I'm asking... If you dare, this is what I look like after my New Year's junk food binge...

maybe your doctor could help you out with some arimidex?

that's a lot of bloating, take some fiber in addition to my recommendations above

that's a good idea; I gotta do as much as I can I feel like I'm about to pop! Have you ever seen bloating this bad?

Dude, I'm going through the same thing you are. I'm on EQ 500/wk and primo 300/wk. From x-mas till now, my gut has gotten huge! I can't open you pick, but my bloating is on top of my gut. I alaways feel full, and yesterday I went to get an upper GI thingy (with no anesthesia) cause I has to go back to work. He found nothing. I do cardio 6 times a week, eat pretty clean and I'm still bloated. I have taken 750 mg of test a week and I've never been this bloated. I've been thinking about arimidex. what do you bros think?

I've never had it that bad naturally, but on anadrol it was really bad - very close to your problem (70%)

Hey, gyumpin, good to hear from someone who's in the same boat (bloat!). I don't know what happens over at community webshots but my pics keep dropping off. I reloaded them so you should be able to see them now.

Is this what you look like?

I always feel full and heavy whether I have eaten a lot or not. I bought a fiber supplement today and I'm gonna start that tonight.
