refeeding edema
by janer1966, Aug 18, 2009 10:12PM
I was recently diagnosed with Celiacs disease, after my weight dropped to a dangerously low level. After I started a new diet, gluten free, I was able to eat anything I want! Great, huh? Well, overnight I gained 25 pounds! The doctor says I have refeeding edema, and is taking me off of diuretics, because he thinks they're doing more harm than good. He has prescribed patience and a low carb diet. Other than the bloating, I feel great (although I do get a LOT of gas). Does anyone know how long the bloating will last, and how low my daily carbs should be? The doctor didn't know. Thanks for your help!
