Very little salt and for sure no alcohol, its all sugar. Rest.

A doctor would be best, they could also give you a diuretic to remove excess water.

Best

You need to talk to your doctor. There are a couple of medications used to treat it but they are available by prescription only.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

God Bless

Some of these might overlap as I didn't take the time to view them but hopefully you will find something that will give you some relief.

I presume the ascites is from liver cirrhosis from alcohol abuse, since we are in the alcoholism group. If so, stopping drinking is a must, if you want to stop the progression, and improve the condition overall. In some people, even resorbtion of fibrosis to some extend is possible. In general, diet and diuretics are the first line of therapy, but I presume you already consulted a physician. If not, you should do so.
Praying for you.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
