I've been curious about my hydration status, because I rarely find myself thirsty, but today my skin and hair felt dryer, not sure if it's because of the normal hot showers or of the colder dryer weather setting in. Maybe I'll drink 16-32 of water a day, with various glasses of iced coffee with mostly whole milk mixed with a 1/3 of coffee with salt and sugar.
So I've been taking urine samples in plastic cups, and I can't see the bottom on the cup. Meanwhile when I pee, it's not like I'm turning the bowl a dark yellow or auburn color. And if I peed in the bowl I would not see the cloudiness or turbidity of the urine. Like something would be really really wrong if it was so cloudy I couldn't see the bottom of the bowl.
I'm sure if I went to the doctors they would say your urine is cloudy, how long has this been going on? ( Blank stare as if there would be anyway for me to find out, if I wasn't taking samples - end of hypothetical scenario) . I'm actually concerned how long this has been going on. For reference mine is just a bit more lighter yellow and not as cloudy but still unable to see anything through it. Looks more like a gatorade, than an applesauce.
Apparently caffeine can make your urine cloudy, as well as dehydration, diabetes and kidney disease...
I've also been taking vitamin D3 in liquid drops with the iced coffee like around 5-7000iu's.
Double bingo - "If you consume high levels of phosphorus or vitamin D, your urine may turn cloudy. For example, if you are taking high doses of vitamin D supplements or eating a lot of meat, dairy, or poultry, there is a chance you may experience cloudy urine"
I'm going to have to look more into this. As soon as I saw this... and my joints have been popping like a mfer for months. I also went low calcium paleo, carnivore, for a year, a few years back and there could have been some damage from the excessive phosphates, and lack of calcium.
I'm going to have to touch up, dehydration - hyperparathyroidism and hyper/hypophosphataemia along with high or low vitamin d levels. Hypophosphataemia is the term used to describe low levels of phosphate in the blood. It is most commonly caused by hyperparathyroidism and vitamin D deficiency.
We got people saying don't take vitamin D. Take it seasonally. Only take if from whole food forms. Get more calcium. Only take it with calcium, its' a calcium problem. Get more magnesium, it's a magnesium problem. You need sunlight, sunlight is the only solution.
Sunlight deficiency: a reversible cause of low serum phosphate? | SFEBES2008
Management: Sunlight exposure during the spring was encouraged. Dietitian review indicated that the low serum phosphate was not due to dietary insufficiency. At the next review in early summer, 25-OH-Vitamin D3 level had improved to 22.6 ng/ml (concentrations >20 ng/ml indicative of vitamin D adequacy). Phosphate was near normal at 0.66 mmol/l (0.8–1.4). By mid-summer, there was complete normalisation of phosphate levels (0.83 mm mol/l (0.8–1.4)) with 25-OH-Vitamin D3 remaining normal. Urinary calcium excretion decreased to 8.9 mmol/24 h.
