light green urine

[BickyBoo]

has anyone else had light green tinted urine? This has only happened a few times and lasts a week or less

Stop drinking green beer!

[RonZone in reply to Bassetmommer]

That would've been my first guess as well Specially this time of year.

Hello BickyBoo! I researched it online and Bassetmommer is correct! Lol! Green beer can cause that, but also, Quora offered some other causes as well (see link below). I hope you’ll find this helpful. Stay well! 😊👍

I read about the green beer and other foods with green food coloring. That’s definitely not the problem. Ha

You're not taking b vitamin supplement are you? Riboflavin can make urine light green.

[BickyBoo in reply to userotc]

thanks but no I’m not

[RoxanneKidney]

Probably something you are eating.

[BickyBoo in reply to RoxanneKidney]

no, it is something that comes and goes very sporadically and I monitor what I’ve eaten to be sure. Thanks

Do you have an over active gut ?...excess bile can change your pee and stool

[BickyBoo in reply to RhenDutchess123]

I think that’s it! I do not have a gallbladder and Crohns

[RhenDutchess123 in reply to BickyBoo]

You may need to discuss with your Gastroenterologist...

[BickyBoo in reply to RhenDutchess123]

I’ll be seeing her soon and will bring it up. I appreciate your response.

[RhenDutchess123 in reply to BickyBoo]

Your welcome...just my thought...let us know what she tells you

[Hidden in reply to BickyBoo]

I too do not have a gallbladder and sometimes my pee smells like bile. I Googled that and it's a thing. I take a B complex tablet every morning and it has a yellow dye in it so my pee is very yellowish so if there were bile, it would probably be masked by the strong yellow color. I don't think I have Crohns but myself and others have BAM (bile acid malabsorption). This allows bile to get into your colon then it is absorbed and excreted as pee. This could also be the culprit. I will add that if you Google BAM, you will find that the medical field doesn't really recognize this as a condition because not enough research has been done to verify it.

How do you guys know all this stuff!

[RhenDutchess123 in reply to RonZone]

It was just a symptom of lots of people with gut problems...but he needs a Gastroenterologist to give his opinion...I worked for a Colonoscopy Center for almost 20 years

How are you feeling these days...is dialysis getting easier for you

[RonZone in reply to RhenDutchess123]

Ahhh, you had insider info! Hey, I'm doing good. FINALLY got a handle on all the machine alarms and all, so it's becoming routine now.

[RhenDutchess123 in reply to RonZone]

Lol...I guess maybe I did in a way....Inside and Up...Glad to hear Treatments are becoming routine...do you feel a difference yet?

[RonZone in reply to RhenDutchess123]

To be honest, I can't tell a lot of difference since I wasn't feeling that bad before I started. I know others have a lot of symptoms and all that I never experienced, which I guess I should count my blessings. I can even skip a night of dialysis, like I had to do last night when my dad had a bad day/night with dementia, and I still feel fine.

[RhenDutchess123 in reply to RonZone]

I felt better right away...but about 6 months later I felt GOOD...I think because we have had it for years, that we forget what GOOD feels like....
