Regarding bloat -- if it's water retention (rather than gas) you can really reduce it by soaking in a bathtub with epsom salts. Has to be a strong solution (2 cups of salts is what I use) but you can weight 2-3 pounds less after soaking for 15 minutes.

I do this when I have a performance & I'm bloated. Works via osmosis -- water in the cells will go to the side of the cell wall where it's most 'needed' -- the side where the mineral salt concentration is higher. So a weak solution won't cut it, you have to be generous with the epsom salt!!!
