I'm in the same position as you. What I find that works for me is to have some water, but I add cucumber and mint to it. That always does the trick for me

Yes! I have been dealing with the same thing. I also look like I'm 6 months pregnant most days.

Yes! I have been dealing with stretch marks on my lower stomach for the better part of a year now. I had a hysterectomy in January and they might be reducing a bit. But it is frustrating to say the least. I tell myself it’s not my body but the disease. And do my best to ignore it. Sometimes that’s easier said then done. I have had natural cherry juice help. I’ve heard dried parsley steeped for tea helps. I tried it once and increased my bathroom use. . . . Which helped with the bloated ness. . . . .
