   Try to avoid salty food/snacks…salt makes you thirsty and eventually make you drink more and more. Or try loosing weight . I used to have beer belly, now that I lost 5 kgs….I feel that my stomach is flatter…

   You may want to consider sodium restricted diet < 2 mg/day and spironolactone 400 mg in addition to your lasix. Obviously check with your physician, make sure you have your blood sodium levels checked out and he looks at all other medications you have for possible dangerous interactions. If the cause of the swelling is your liver, avoid alcohol and liver toxic medications. If you have quite a lot of fluid, your doctor can remove it or recommend you to a doctor who can remove it for you. Hope it helps some.

   Don’t know whether it’s accurate, but today in the mail I received a brochure that indicated stomach gain as we age can be corrected by taking adrenal supplements. I haven’t tried that, but I plan to.
