[QUOTE="Digghy, post: 101188, member: 17900"] Hi Nelson, actually liver and kidneys work well, and I never had this bloating before December 2017, yes I had sometimes some water retention but due to stress, climate changes or diet, disappearing in couple of days. No alcohol (never in my life), and yes, I have a low carb diet: from monday to sunday I eat only low fat proteic food (meat and fish) and a lot of vegetables, including some carbs only in my post workout breakfast (but it's only 2 apples and 40 grams of oat meat). On sunday I have a high sugar cheat meal (usually with a lot of icecream), but have this diet scheme since 5 years ago and never never had water retention issues. I definetly think MR receptors are the problem, binding my high cortisol and making me retaining water. In fact I am especially bloated after workout, in particular after doing cardio, when my cortisol levels raises. And I am bloated only in my abdomen, where cortisol receptors and MR intestinal receptors are high. I am 8-10% bodyfat, but look like I am 14% now with all this water retention! I am a little bit puzzled because I tried with Eplenerone which should bind MR receptors, but was uneffective at all. My question is: how long does it take to my 11 HSD2 enzimes to make their job again deactivating my periferic cortisol and avoiding it to bind to my MR receptors? I am 2 months off my TRT (and having done it for a short time frame, only 3 months, and with super low dose, apart from that I never used AAS) but no progress so far, and I am becoming scared. I do not think this can be due to something other than TRT, as I had no food intolerances before and my diet and training is always the same. Cheers [/QUOTE]
