Hi,

I have not really gained too much weight anywhere else on my body. However, my face has become very bloated over the past 6 months.

I do not dring soda or coffee. Just water and green tea.
Never been a huge gym buff, go for walks frequently.
Eat healthy, no fast food or heavy pasta.

Not taking any steroids.
Taking birth control (mercet) - been on them since 1990-ish?
Taking the usual vitamins.

Any ideas and or sugestions? I have heard that taking BC can cause the bloating - but just not sure if it was a rumor.

Thanks!

It may be worth having a thyroid function test done, although b/c can cause bloating.
