A member asked:
Ive gained ten pounds in the course of two weeks..could it fat gain or water retention? what should i do? overall im a healthy person besides being treated for gastritis
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unless you are eating extremely large amounts of food, the most likely cause is water retention. In females, hormonal fluctuations, pregnancy, inflammation, certain medications and infections can all cause water retention. Decrease your salt intake, increase your fluid intake, and watch for symptoms of swelling and bloating.
