Signs PUFAs Are Leaving The Body

[Aussiepopeye]

Hi all,
Just wondering if there are any signs people experience as PUFAs are being eliminated from the body?

Foamy urine is one way to observe it. The body's "safe" process of stored PUFA disposal happens through glucuronidation, where the liver attaches glucuronic acid to PUFA which makes it water soluble and able to be excreted through urine. I'm not certain that seeing foamy urine on a regular basis necessarily a good thing, though. It might mean that the liver is being consistently overburdened with the task of dealing with excessive amounts of PUFA release due to stress.

One sign is that it gets easier and easier to keep your body temperature up. A year ago I had a difficult time even getting my body temperature above 97, and now it is almost impossible to get it below 97 and stays higher than 98.6 during the day.
