Genise’s post

Does anyone have any recommendations (or Em if you have a plan) to detox? I'm waiting to get a doc appt but last week my ankles were super swollen & I've gained almost 10lbs in less than a week and still gaining. There's been no drastic changes in diet. (I really need to be eating more though but sometimes we get busy at school).

Absolutely would suggest getting an appointment with your doctor before doing any detoxes, taking any supplements or making dietary changes. Your body showing a significant change in water retention can be a number of factors (anything from a lymphatic flow issue, reflect kidney health, electrolyte balances, hydration etc.). I can even happen from being at altitude from being on a long flight. A doctor can run the appropriate test and diagnostics to get a better idea of causation - but do not put it off, its always better to observe your body and get the data from a medical professional.
