she might not be able to process wheat as wheat is a major cause of bloating and retaining water.  She needs to check out what she's eating. Also the lack of estrogen promotes a masculine figure.  Weight loss is much harder because of the change in body shape and distribution of hormones.

Could be anything! Most women go up and down an avg of 5lbs even in one day!! It could even be caused by her cycle and retaining more water!
