Sometimes when initiating GH therapy water retention results. It's basically the body shifting water between compartments. It evens out.

Nelson, because your body is not used to higher carbs, the enzymes and pathways are different than for those who do. An analogy is when a person who does not eat much salt consumes a bag of potato chips, they blow up with bloat. But for those who regularly eat salt, that does not happen.

IOW, your chaste, pure body can not handle the carb load. But it could adjust.

The kidneys take several days to adjust electrolyte balance.
