it burns after urinating
urinating just seems really odd

i’m afriad it’s due to the high protein diet i’m taking, which leads to more acidic urine
help on this?

if it means anything
i am taking a centrum multi
1g potassium in lite salt (so, sodium in here too)
and 500 mg magnesium
and 600 mg calcium

and plenty plenty vegetables

and about a gallon of water a day

also maybe of relevance, 12.5 g ephedrine hcl (and Guaifenesin USP 200 mg)
and 200 mg caffiene
three times a day

thanks in advance

I am guessing it is the high protein. Try drinking lots of water.

And stimulants might cause it too, especially caffeine.

It’s probably making the urine acidic. Take lots of vegetables & fruits and drink lots of water. Let’s see how it goes from there.

okay. i am going to the doctors for an urine case, i suspect this might be unrelated
it kept me up the whole night so i got up and ingested massive amounts of vegetables and water and fruit
and carbs, for that matter
it’s still here, hopefully i don’t have an UTI

Yeah, def see a doctor. Could be an infection or an STD.

High protein diet and acidic urine? How much protein do you eat? I think you have to eat a lot to actually make that happen..

230 grams.
i’m 161 lbs

yeah, I think you’re right in that case

went to see the doctor. urine tests all normal.
got put on wide-spectrum antibiotics
if the pain persists for a week, I come back

i’ve eaten this much protein before, on several occasions
no burning.
i feel this is un PSMF related
hopefully, the antibiotics will knock it out

I dropped the EC stack for a day
havent even started the antibiotics.
burning is gone. (so i think you’re right anoop, it was the caffiene)

pity, i really liked the EC stack too. it gave me energy and blunted hunger
if its gonna keep me up at night with the burning though, its not worth it
