Hi Im currently wondering same!! Trying vit B6 and eating lots bananas (potassium). Am now thinking gluten causes fluid retention, but find it very hard to not eat bread. I do restrict or try to avoid biscuits, cakes etc tho. And of course, alcohol causes fluid retention. Drink lots water, exercise, and massage (pummel!) legs to help lymphatic drainage. Double whammy of menopause & hypothyroid doesnt help with weight gain either!
