Urine colour?

[Bessie]

Without wishing to ask too many personal questions??!! Has anyone found they are peeing bright yellow in the morning on the standard meds?? The B vit tablet seems to be a strong colour and as that is taken towards the end of the day I wonder if that is what is doing it. Bit alarming peeing such a dayglo colour first thing! I don't drink stacks of water but when I am AF I do drink more than normal so I wouldn't think I am dehydrated....

Also about Bs: I was told by a health-store employee that I could (and should) take several times the recommended dose of Bs. I was a bit taken aback and assumed she just wanted to sell more. But I asked my doctor, who agreed wholeheartedly. Pop them morning noon and night, was the message. So, now you can have day-glo pee at every visit to the loo!

The primary reason for taking the xtra B vitamin is that they are water soluble and you pee them out rather quickly. If you dose up several times throughout the day you will refresh the dose.

Urine colour?

yes, and also, you absorb them less efficiently if you have been drinking alcohol for a long time, so you need to replenish. And since they are water soluble they are not dangerous-- they will not build up in your system like some vitamins. So hurray for yellow peepee!

Christ almighty you guys are seriously taking the piss!! (or should that be 'talking')

I think you should all get yourselves off to the nearest STD clinic and pray to god for forgiveness for ever mentioning wee wee on a sacred forum like this!

Go on the lot of you.....
post your results back here in 2 weeks or else I ain't sleeping with any of ya!! (you too satori and BJ!!!)

Urine colour?

Yes hooray for yellow peepee!

Also note that vitamin C is also water soluble.

Vitamins A, D, and E are fat soluble so watch out you don't take too much of those!

yes, a relief it is to me too.

As for C, yes, you can take ALOT of that, and according to the Seven Weeks to Sobriety programme, you SHOULD take tons of it (Ester C), something like 6-8,000mg per day (spread out over the day). The only possible problem with that is some people get (um, how shall we put it so as not to offend Hippie's delicate disposition?), well, um, loose in the non-urinary defacation department. In that case, you should cut down on Cs until you are, um, normal.

you guys crack me up (i'd been wondering about this ... had been worried the dayglo color was a sign i wasn't getting enough water even though i feel like i'm drinking gallons!) one less thing to be worried about!
