Serum basal GH level, mean GH level and GH pulse amplitude were elevated by 41.79% (p<0.01), 48.98% (p<0.01) and 35.05% (p<0.05), respectively, with betaine treatment, but GH pulse frequency and pulse duration remained unchanged (p>0.05).
A major side effect of growth hormone (GH) administration is fluid retention. Most data indicate that adult GH-deficient patients are dehydrated, i.e. they have low total body water, low extracellular water and low plasma volume. When GH substitution is initiated in these patients their body fluid compartments are restored to normal. The fluid retaining capacity of GH should therefore be regarded as a desirable physiological normalization of fluid homeostasis rather than an unpleasant side effect.
Could it be a growth hormone deficiency? GH induces (allows?) water retention. It's also produced at high rates during fasting.
Have you tried betaine/trimethylglycine, I don't remember? I've just seen an article saying that (in pigs) it could increase GH.

Growth Hormone and Fluid Retention
I don't know maybe high doses (I don't know, like 5g a day) could have more effect.Yes I have tried betaine/trimethylglycine, again hard to say if I've noticed any improvement.
I don't know maybe high doses (I don't know, like 5g a day) could have more effect.
It could be tried again if a growth hormone deficiency is really diagnosed.
Stool test results. What do you guys think?
The FXR transcription factor (and the TG5R receptor) is both involved in bile metabolism and in water homeostasis.
Maybe an agonist could help.
It's a sensor of molecules, bile acids among other. Transcription factors activation triggers the expression of genes.Thanks. I've googled FXR transcription factor but excuse my ignorance I'm still not sure exactly it is. When you say an agonist, what would an example be?
Would it be possible to have a fat malabsorption issue, yet have high cholesterol?
I ask as my stools consistently float and are of pale colour. I'm wondering now if I have a bile deficiency and am for some reason unable to absorb/utilize fat and fat soluble vitamins.
Could this perhaps also explain when I've sometimes eaten very fatty meals, and for a brief while afterwards, symptoms are reduced?
How accurate are these tests? My stools always float, they are always pale, clay like. Clearly too much fat in the stool but this test I have a few months back claims that area of digestion is normal/good and there's no malabsorption issues.
Your story makes me think about a sulfite intolerance (due to a molybdenum deficiency for example).Reading your story reminds me of myself.
I've had a spell once of dehydration and I was in and out of ER rooms to get a saline IV at least because I felt near death from dehydration, everything would go through me and all my labs checked out fine
No matter what I drank, mineral water, tap water, distilled water, Gatorade etc I would just piss it light a race horse and be worse off then before I drank!
Do you know what the culprit turned out to be?
Dried prunes.
I kid you not, this happened around 2014 and I was eating a handful of prunes daily at work.
Since then ive avoided dry plums (prunes) and never had issues again, fresh plums had no negative side effects.
I did an experiment in 2017, I ate 2 or 3 small prunes, just to see if something changed, next day I'm at work, sweating cause it's hot, lips dried, can't drink because I now piss it all out, toughed it out for 2 days, stabilized on the 3rd day, assimilation back on track, hydrated.
I also can't assimilate RO or distilled water.
Hope you find help anywhere to this issue because I know exactly what this feels like and it's hell.
If it's not prunes for you start looking at what you are eating with the high potassium
