I seem to hold on to alot of water weight when I eat carbs, what kind of carbs does not seem to matter, I notice it within hours of a moderate carb meal that I swell up,, about 70 g carbs seems to be my limit otherwise im going to bloat-town. Does anyone know why this is? I know carbs make you hold on to water but some people can get a way with 500 g of carbs and not bloat? when I went keto for 3 weeks I lost 20 pounds and I know that most of it was water weight so it really makes me retain water...if anyone has any ideas what can cause this carb intolerans and "carb face" please share

You have simply issues with sugar metabolism and it can have many reasons.. Micronutrient deficiencies, inflammation etc..

OK thx, Then the question is if it would be better to eat low carb until those things are resolved or if that will only make it all worse?

Looks like its 4 Lows from your hair test, which is some reason already. It would be better if you have more metabolic markers done recently or around the hair test date try to match those with it. For ex. at least the main 4 from the hair to have those from blood as well.

Yes, I am doing that next week, also got a dutch complete test on the way.
