To ask about asparagus wee

[WhatTheFrikkinFrack]

I just had it for dinner and I swear it makes my wee smell 'earthy'.
Pleaseeeee say it's not just me?!

Forget my previous post, have had another go at Google, and smelly urine is indeed a Losartan side effect.

[TrickyD]

I take Losartan for my blood presssure and that makes my pee stink to merry hell. If I forget to take the tablet, pee reverts to normal. I checked via Google and oddly, no one else seems to have experienced this.

Losartan plus asparagus, interesting combo!

Me too!

I've found that asparagus cup-a-soup also makes my wee smell. I thought there was no asparagus only artificial flavourings in it.

[BestIsWest]

Yes to asparagus wee but not fennel tea. I drink a lot of it and have never smelled anything different.

[VulcanWoman]

I didn't/can't smell anything different.

[carabos]

I find the smell appears immediately. It's so bad that I don't eat asparagus these days.

[OliveBranchCollins]

I quite like the smell

[Savagebeauty]

Yes!!!
Ate two bundles on Saturday night and was reeking yesterday.
Seems ok today .

I was prescribed some anti phycotic meds in march and this started happening to me i thought it was the tabs, ive stopped taking them and im a veggie and i drink plenty of fluids dont eat asparagus but i have that smell everyday my daughter noticed my partners noticed and no matter how much water i drink it doesnt seem to go...

[WhatTheFrikkinFrack]

Fewww glad it's not just me then, my daughter went in the loo after me and said 'ew mom. Ur wee reeks!' Cheers

I used to give my baby asparagus, now changing an asparagus wee nappy first thing in the morning is nasty.

[SillyBub]

Me too bikegeek! Also Cappuccino does similar

[FindingNormal]

I went to a wedding once where asparagus was served... The loos reeked by the time come on Eileen was playing.

[Dvallin]

Fennel tea does the same thing, definitely not just you.

Asparagus wee is normal. Another one who can't believe quite how quickly you can smell it.

[Cantchangeusernameback]

Yes. And sugar puffs, and coffee.

[BikeGeek]

it amazes me just how fast it gets into your wee

[ClaraLane]

I get this and I also get it with sugar puffs too!

[PatMustardsBigTool]

Yep. Asparagussy wee, not just you!

[KurriKurri]

No it's definitely a thing-I also had asparagus tonight and I know my wee will smell odd later.

I think everyone's wee smells weird after asparagus but I think that some people can't detect the smell.(And that's why some people think they don't have it)
