Bloat - water retention - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

I have noticed that diet can be the cause of water retention. So far (touch wood) I have not suffered with water retention to any extent that would cause concern.
What foods can contribute to water retention?
Thanks

Foods high in sodium for one.

Carbohydrates make you hold water.
1 gram of carbs holds 3 grams of water
1 gram of fat holds 1/2 gram of water

And yes the obvious as mentioned above salt.

To aid in bloating have some digestive enzymes and pro-biotics.
