  Oooooh…

  Sometimes my piss smells like sugar, but it often smells like a lot of things. Usually piss. Sometimes asparagus.

      If it can help to alert you to a potential medical issue and then you go see the doctor; I don’t see it as bad thing.

      I’ve tasted my own piss before to see if it was sweet.

      It’s actually beneficial for controlling your health to monitor piss and poo. Not to obsessively investigate it. But just to know what’s normal for you so you know when to worry.

        Very much this. You don’t have to eat all of it, a tablespoon or two to taste is enough.

        For poop:

        • the bristol stool scale
        • and your frequency (anywhere from daily to weekly is normal and varies a lot person to person so learn your normal)
        • can vary a lot so that’s less important but here’s a few common ones other than brown:
          • bright red. This is a small amount of blood and from very close to the exit so it’s not great but you’ll be fine. Be nicer to your butthole though: stop eating taco bell and use more lube. Maybe put some A&D on the outside until it stops doing that.
          • dark black like tar. This is what a lot of blood from very deep in you looks like. Go to the ER immediately.
          • light grey / white. This means your liver isn’t putting old trash red blood cells into your poop like it’s supposed to and you should go to the ER immediately and find out why not and where it’s putting them instead.

        For piss:

        • should be light yellow “straw” color and clear
        • not cloudy and DEFINITELY never chunky. -Also should not be a syrupy consistency, I’ve legit seen diabetics pissing and it looks like they’re pouring syrup into the toilet also that’s how you get horrible bladder infections bacteria love that sugar.
        • You should also pee about 4-10 times daily and it can vary a lot depending on how much you’re drinking and how much you’re losing other ways like sweating or vomiting.
        • if your pee turns a little dark throughout the day that’s fine and you just need to drink more water.
        • if your pee suddenly turns dark brown go to the ER.
        • beets have a dye that can change pee color and that’s harmless
        • some medications can change your pee color and sometimes that’s fine and sometimes it’s bad talk to your doctor about it but for example
          • pyridium turns it red and that’s fine
          • I can never remember which b vitamin but it makes your piss super bright yellow and so people use it to help fake drug tests because it makes their urine look less dilute when casually observed. They’ll be able to tell what you did if they look closer though.

        Hence the “poop shelf” which has taken over toilets in the last decade

        Hopefully you were in the bathroom when you relieved yourself.

        I know I was.

    Get yo self a glucometer if you’re thinking about it, diabeetus is real obvious once you start using the right tools. Also they’re super cheap these days.

    Everyone’s talking about the smell, but I’m thinking about the colour after I eat a bunch of beets

    • Gullible@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Living amongst avid beet eaters, I never noticed a color change. Guess i metabolize beets particularly well, which is neat.

        My pee comes out pink. It’s startling!

    Mine frequently smells like whatever meat I ate, especially after eating a couple chili dogs or smoked meat.

    Could be artificial sweeteners.
