I promise I am not the pee troll. I'm just an anxious woman in her early 40s who has scared herself silly before by googling, and would prefer not to panic if it's not necessary.
I have noticed today that my wee smells like popcorn. I wondered if it could be linked to eating some ridiculously sweet cereal on Sunday morning (Lucky Charms, which are pretty much 100% sugar and more a dessert than a balanced meal). I haven't noticed the smell before, but also haven't eaten that cereal for a long time. Sorry for TMI but my wee does tend to smell fishy after eating seafood, to the point where I reduced how much fish I ate because the smell is embarrassing - if i don't eat fish, there is no smell. I don't have any effect from asparagus although I know a lot of people do. Could my body just react strongly to certain foods or could it be something else? I wondered if it could be because I'm perimenopausal?
My mum is type 2 diabetic (only diagnosed 2 years ago, is really slim and eats healthily so not weight related). I am overweight but had a check up just before lockdown and was pronounced as fit as a butchers dog apart from sciatica (which started during pregnancy 20 years ago!) and sleep apnoea which I've had all my life.
Any advice?
