protein shakes, and the liver

I looked it up and it's excess protein being secreted. Seems like the likely cause because it tends to happen when I eat more protein than usual for a single sitting (like over 50 grams).

Whenever I take in too much calcium, my urine is cloudy :p

That must be hard on your kidneys then.

I doubt it.. because this doesn't happen all the time.

And again, I consume a LOT of water. When I take my calcium pills, I drink about 1/2 a liter of water... more than enough to deal with them.

I went on an 11 mile hike yesterday... after hiking I had about 50 grams of protein and right before bed I ate a lot of chicken. This morning I woke up... no foamy urine :p So, it seems to me that my body excretes protein that isn't used.

I'm glad I didn't wake up sore this morning... because today, I am climbing Stone Mountain.
 
Could just be calcium oxalate crystals.

Maybe... the white stuff kind of look like crystals and they like to clump together.

But... whenever I consume a lot of calcium, my urine is usually just cloudy.

Maybe I need to space out my calcium consumption and drink even more water :eek:
 
Are you sure it wasn't just gas (especially since it appears to be gone now) ?

Oh its not gone, and usually the protein shakes don't give me gas at all. They might make me shit sometimes, but never gas.

I usually do drink a lot of water by the way. But actually this morning I'm wondering if I am not mistaking back pain for liver pain, cause I threw my back out and the pain appears to wrap around my entire torso. Its oodles of fun!
