Water Pills
SO I'm 13 and I weigh 176 lbs. It's really un healthy but my mom says I'll grow out of it. Yeah I guess Im growing but I drink like 4-20 oz bottles of water and I also drink some juice (not alot). When I go to bed at nights I feel extrememly bloated. Oh and sometimes I don't urine alot so I jus drink some cranberry juice or take the cranberry capsules. So I was thinking that I could take a dewitts...the water pill to make all my urine from all the water I drink flush away...does anyonw know if it's safe to take the water pills at my age?...and if not is there anything that will make me feel less bloated from the water I drink. Thanks alot...because I'm sure at least 5-10 lbs of my is from water!

water pills are called diuretics. don't take them without your doctor's consent or it can be a problem.

well i know what you mean ... kinda but i wouldnt suggest taking the pills without consulting your doctor! If your on that time of the month that can make the bloating worse, try taking midol for bloating it will take that feeling and look away, trust me! even if your not menstruating you can still take midol so thats good too. umm ... you should really consult your doctor about this feeling because he/she would give you a better solution! good luck and dont wait til you grow out of it because you might not, try eating less fatty foods and start getting nutritious! it'll help you in the long run!

Don't take water pills unless they are given to you by your doctor. They are dangerous if taken unsupervised.
I really don't think it is the water that is making you bloated. Might make you slosh around a little but shouldn't make you bloated.
Now the fruit juice may be giving you some gas build up or something. I think you should maybe try cutting down on the juice and see if that doesn't help you out some. Maybe drink it earlier in the day :)
