Carbs make face swell up?

Does anyone have experience of retaining a lot of fluid in their face? It seems that after a meal with a lot of carbohydrates my face gets very puffy looking and after about 3 hours it goes away again. I had a food intolerance test done a while ago and have left out the foods i'm intolerant to but it still happens. I've noticed when i eat low carb meals i swell up a lot less. Does anyone have an explanation for this?
