I have calls in to my PCP and LLMD, but thought I'd poll you guys. For the last several weeks, my urine has been clear, even the first morning pee. I am not drinking excessive amounts of water, in fact I've cut back in an attempt to see some yellow.
I know it's good to have clear urine, but this is just weird and I'm slightly worried my body isn't processing liquid waste the way it's supposed to. I have no other symptoms that would suggest urinary tract issues. I'm currently on a 2 week antibiotic break, but this started while I was on antibiotics.
I haven't changed supplements, but started HBOT therapy recently.
Thanks in advance for any help with this very odd (and slightly embarrassing) question!

i've always heard that when you have clear urine you are well hydrated. which is good.
maybe others can chime in.

- I just learned a few things. Do a Google Search of: "Clear Urine" and a few good links pop up on the first page. -

Might try calling the HBOT manufacturer to see if that may affect the urine. If that is the only change you have made recently there is a possibility there is a connection.

But that's the thing, I'm not drinking that much water. This is something completely new, and seems unrelated to how much liquid I'm taking in.
The only symptom of clear urine other than being well hydrated is kidney disease, which I REALLY hope is not the case, although one listed cause of kidney disease is antibiotics. Hmmm.....

- Be sure to check several of the search results. They vary.
What is your liver support? As liver stress is common with lyme, the clear urine might be a sign that you need more liver support &/or that it's overwhelmed.
Hey, better clear than cloudy. Much more at the various links. -------------
Dark brown or clear urine is characteristic of a liver disorder such as acute viral hepatitis or cirrhosis. . . . -

With kidney failure you usually have swelling of the feet, ankles, and lower legs. Are they swollen lately?

Urine especially when on any killing protocol (which kills more than pathogens) should be stinky and strongly yellowish. Check your mineral base and make sure you have enough electrolytes. They carry the toxins through the kidney. Kidneys must do proper filtering, or you will be in trouble.
If you drink too much water, you kick out the few electrolytes that are there. You need to take in liquids that contain other substances (soups, mousses, puddings, apple sauce) in order for the liquids to go through a "digestion" process to avoid flushing the liquids straight through taking the few good electrolytes in the body with them.
I posted a Rehydration Cocktail recently. Do a search. I posted it on the Allergie Immun Germany thread. The electrolytes must have phosphorus in them.
Have to run.

A dipstick would show if everything is in range. Siemens dipstick with 9 tests on it - to order at Waalgren, will need a few days. But probably the urine is too clear to show anything.

If you take a B12 tablet would the urine turn yellow - just as a test? I think it should happen some hours later.

According to Dr. K's literature, this can be caused by high mercury, and Phosphorus can correct the problem.
