Baclofen and abdominal distension?
Id steer clear of hydroxycut. It was recalled at one point for causing liver damage. Id have to google for updated information on this.
I would talk to someone about getting a prescription so you are managed. Hawthorne berries is a natural diuretic many use for bloodpressure(water pill).
But the problem with diuretics is that I have seen many patients run into issues with hypokalemia as they get prescribed the diuretic without a potassium sparing agent such as lisinopril or other ACE inhibitor or ARB.
Without that, the diuretic effect of peeing out water leeches the potassium from their bloodstream and they feel like holy hell. Its also a serious medical condition that can result in death.
Diuretics are cheap, 4$ generic per month but they should be medically managed with occasional bloodwork. I certainly could prescribe and manage my own medications such as this but for a layperson. I think they could run into issues needlessly far easier than baclofen. And if one is drinking with that diuretic effect and rebound water retention forces at work. You are even more likely to run into problems.
If you want to manage water retention naturally, you should significantly cut out the sodium/salt in your diet. Otherwise, have a physician manage this.
An occasional dose of hawthorne berry and I mean occasional might be ok. But leave this to the professionals. Before prescribing this, they should run a chemistry panel as a baseline that checks the potassium levels among other things which should be done regardless on at least a yearly basis. Youll a physician to interpret this for you

I couldn't have conceived of starting to paint my bedroom on a Monday night at 4pm 5 months ago. Or doing work that needs concentration in the evening. Or even talking on the phone! I do all of those things daily. (okay, not the bedroom, though I hate the color. Now I'm going to have to do it again and really irritate my husband, who is not indifferent yet and is not fond of the evening's full roster of activities. But whatever, I don't have enough time in the day anymore to watch tv!)
