Hello. I have a ton of estrogen in my body according to blood labs (I say a ton because I am not even on testosterone I just have naturally high normal estrogen and low normal testosterone despite lifting and plenty of daily zinc.
I do know that Dim supposedly helps flush out the bad metabolites of estrogen through the liver and raises the amount of "good" ones.
My question is this. My doctor and I have observed that the lower my estrogen is the less bloat and water retention I have. We checked through diet manipulation and me reporting back to him. I saw that a more estrogenic diet made my water retention worse REGARDLESS of no creatine, good sleep, low sodium, and low carbs....
So have you guys ever found DIM to help SPECIFICALLY with the water retention aspects of excess estrogen? Because I did some reading and some women say it does the very opposite (causing more retention) but I have seen a few who say it helps.
Overall, do you guys find that it helps you with that or at least any other symptoms? Or does it simply make it or them worse?
