Edema help

I am just wondering who else suffers from this. I do have varicose veins, am on a water pill, have retention stockings, eat healthy, reduced sodium, drink lemon water, take dandelion capsules..my doc thinks it is nothing to worry about since all results have come back normal.
But as all of u know being young with a gut that is huge full of water is not attractive. Is there anything ....anything that will make this go.
I work out heartily and have a six pack but I look preggers. No I'm not. I literally have to fast for 3 days to make it go. I've gone wheat, gluten free a year ago and nothing helped. Living off veggies only makes one want to binge. Tia for your help
