My doctor has increased my diuretics by four times. It's not helping me lose water, but at least I'm not gaining now. He said there's a chance that the antibiotics I took in December killed off all of my intestinal bacteria and that's what caused my intestinal edema. We have me on a stomach healing drug for that, and also a lot of probiotics (over the counter). This was on Monday. I haven't seen any huge difference, if any, yet. I do have less pain in my stomach. I asked him if it could be candida overgrowth giving me some symptoms; he said it's usually with the vagina in women, and said he didn't think it was the case in my gut. Thanks for asking!

I hope I can make it better, but I think it's related to my heart failure.

OH he said I might have an ovarian cyst, so we're going to look into that.
