Origami1…Because Your Body

origami1…because your body is so compromised, physically, your renal system is not functioning normally. This is what causes the fluid to build up when you eat. This is something that takes time to normalize, and you have to continue to eat or it will only get worse. What you have shared adds up to a very dangerous situation. Your electrolytes are also likely very abnormal, which can be very very dangerous. I suggest that you see a doctor right away so that you can get the kind of help that you need. This is serious. Take care.
