[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you know it is edema and not just weight gain?[/quote] OP didn't give her DD's starting weight, but the rule of thumb is that more than a 5% increase in weight in a month needs to be investigated as more than just weight gain. If her DD's starting weight was 120, 20 lbs would be a nearly 17% increase in weight over two months, certainly a red flag. If her starting weight were 150, it would be 13%, still over the 5% a month rule of thumb.[/quote] Good info— OP, what was your daughter’s starting weight? Is she using the same scale every day? Does she have pitting edema ( skin indents after pressing on it)?[/quote]
