Welcome, I had like a bloated feeling and I couldn't stand it. Fortunately I just called my doctor and I had him prescribe me a diuretic. I'm not saying that's what you need, you may want to talk to your own doctor, but it worked wonders for me. MT has never really done that much for me, some ppl like it alright I just mean for me. Well it sounds like you have plenty of time to get educated and decide what you are gonna do, so enjoy.
