Water retention from salt not sodium bicarb

[superhuman]

I still have not figured out why i get SUPER thirsty from regular salt and when i drink the water i retain it. But with sodium bicarb i dont and it gives me relief.

Has anyone managed to get ridd of their water retention esp in my lower body? it frustrates me so much, i just dont know what to do. Ive tried most stuff.

Could the bicarbonate component of sodium bicarbonate be the difference here? The acute addition of co2 would aid metabolism and help you short term perhaps. If you think this idea has merit, co2 enhancement strategies are under curent discussion here. Best of luck,
