Cloudy urine correlates with feeling bad

[dishealthful]

I cycle through weeks of having bad gut symptoms and general malaise, and weeks where I have none of the above.

During the bad weeks I consistently have opaque urine. Any idea what the relationship could be?

According to Sally Norton (author of Toxic Superfoods) it could be oxalate dumping as it is cyclical.

I was thinking that could be a possibility as well.

How does one test this possibility?

If you’ve done 23&me you can run your raw data through a nutrigenomics profile. I’m not recommending you do this if you don’t already have the data though. I simply cut out high oxalate foods and felt better quickly. If you have cronometer it should tell you how much oxalate you are getting from your current diet. Most people recommend reducing the amount gradually to avoid shocking your system. I didn’t do this and got lucky but I’ve read about people cutting it completely out suddenly and ending up in the ER.
