I've had trouble with water retention. I rarely use salt in my cooking and when I do it's in small amounts.

When I was pregnant I did have a lot of trouble with bloating and water retention. My ankles disappeared under the swelling for 3 months and so did my wrists. My Dr warned me away from salt as much as possible (which was easy for me thankfully) and told me to drink as much water as possible. At one point I was drinking a gallon of water a day. It did help some but didn't completely stop it.

Now when I do have PMS symptoms I can improve things quite quickly really by drinking a lot of water.
