Black Specks In Pee, Following Pain

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to place this under, but I'm pretty worried right now. It started Saturday afternoon, randomly got jabbing pains in the mid-stomach/back, slightly lower than the gall bladder. Then the pains disappeared, and I noticed a lot of garbage in my pee. I had a similar attack yesterday (Sunday), again the sharp pains, followed by nothing, and this time i seen a black speck on the bottom of the toilet after I peed. Again today, same process (but not as severe pain). I used the pan to collect and again noticed something black.

I asked all my friends who had they gall bladders removed, and they all said even at their worst they never passed gall stones, so that makes me now certain it can't be them.

Might this be kidney stones instead? Should I go to see a doctor?

Everyone on this forum knows I have a very high pain tolerence, so it's not an issue of not being able to handle the pain, I just dont want to make things worse (if they could get worse?) by not gtetting checked out...

Yeah, I would get it checked. It could be something related to the kidneys. Hope you feel better soon!

I honestly did not get the chance to go in today. So I will tomorrow... I've been peeing in the collection pan and earlier this afternoon it looked like someone sprinkled fine-grained sand into it. Just now I spotted some of the 'sand' again, plus a tiny brown blob that looked hairy (but big enough to notice). I've also been having some serious nausea and have been feverish all day. It's horrible, I hate getting new problems for the first time =(

Are you still collecting and are you going to take it with you to the doctor? They might be able to run some tests to see what the "sand" is. I wonder if you might have kidney stones or an infection of some kind.

This needs to get bumped to the very top of your priority list. Kidney infections can become very serious very quickly. It either needs to be dealt with ASAP or eliminated as the problem and whatever is causing the problem needs to be found. Nausea + fever + passing something in the urine is not a good combination.

If you can't see your doctor soon, go to an ER or walk-in clinic. As another member said, this IS a very serious condition. Sounds like you're unfortunately having complications of a kidney infection (the fever, nausea, and pain you said you've been having are huge indicators). Are you experiencing any other symptoms, such as pain/pressure in your lower back?

I hope you feel better soon!

      @yellowstone, You poor thing! I'm not a medical doctor, but it sounds like "Refeeding Syndrome". I suggest you seek medical attention. Refeeding Syndrome occurs when your body doesn't have enough of the necessary vitamins, especially Thiamine, to turn sugars (from the fruit, juice, and honey) to turn provide energy. This can occur...

      Due to malabsorption, I have hypoglycemia and I excrete ketones in my urine. I am losing a lot of weight. I don’t know what to do — I drink juice, eat fruit, take honey, but I don’t notice much improvement. Any advice?

      Your post doesn't mention if you are seeing Doctors about this and what they had to say, or if you are just trying to manage it by yourself. If you aren't getting medical support, that is the first place to go. On the other hand, if you've been on a diagnostic odyssey with Dr after Dr being perplexed, consider getting your genome sequenced (search for "whole genome sequencing"). It's not guaranteed to get you an answer, but if your symptoms are caused by a genetic condition you might get the answer that is stumping standard differential diagnosis. These days there are quite a few companies offering this service. I wish I could tell you which one was best but I've been out of that field for a decade. Talk to your Dr about this and see what they think. Price is probably ~$500-$1,500 including the sequencing and detailed reports. Sounds like a lot, I know, but consider that 25 years ago just the sequencing (no reports) cost $2.7 B and took 3 years to complete.

      @yellowstone, You poor thing!  I'm not a medical doctor, but it sounds like "Refeeding Syndrome".   I suggest you seek medical attention.   Refeeding Syndrome occurs when your body doesn't have enough of the necessary vitamins, especially Thiamine, to turn sugars (from the fruit, juice, and honey) to turn provide energy.   This can occur in Malabsorption due to Celiac Disease.  Malabsorption prevents the absorption of B vitamins, especially Thiamine. The B vitamins and Thiamine cannot be stored long in the body.  When you run out of Thiamine, your body burns fat for energy which produces the Ketones, hence your weight loss. With medical attention, Thiamine and other B vitamins need to be replaced before giving any more sugars.  Doctors can give you an IV containing B vitamins including Thiamine, called a "banana bag".  Riboflavin  Vitamin B2 causes the yellow color.   Doctors can also monitor your electrolytes which can become unbalanced and cause further serious health issues. I've experienced Refeeding Syndrome.  It's very scary.  Health can deteriorate quickly in Refeeding Syndrome.  It's correctable, but complicated.   I strongly urge you to get professional medical attention as soon as possible.   Our prayers are with you! https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23228-refeeding-syndrome Thiamine Deficiency in Self-Induced Refeeding Syndrome, an Undetected and Potentially Lethal Condition https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4295429/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      I ate sprouted buckwheat and hard boiled egg last night instead of cereal and got extra 1/2 hour sleep but more importantly feel better this morning. I do sleep in cycles that seems to rotate btwn 3 and 6 hrs but I will monitor next time I make a pot. Bwheat is a complete protein with good amounts of thiamin, magnesium, fiber and iron. High carb but much lower glycemic and much healthier than refined flour cereal.
