For the past month or so I have been having, on and off, 'sweet' or 'musty' smelling stool and flatulence. I am 22 years old, I do not smoke, drink, or do drugs. The foul smelling urine began about two weeks ago, though it also comes and goes (usually it is worse when I haven't drank enough water or sometimes it is very bad in the morning). Sometimes, in the morning, my urine is a terribly dark yellow/orange almost red (though, that amount of darkness is rare). I had a terrible UTI in high school with blood in the urine. I was prescribed antibiotics for 6 months, and it finally went away. I have digestive problems and have been diagnosed with 'spastic' gallbladder with sludge deposits. My blood was tested last year and there was nothing wrong with my glucose, thyroid, or liver enzymes. I also have severe IBS and hemorrhoids. I have IST (inappropriate sinus tachycardia) with no structural defects in the heart. I also have chronic ovarian cysts.
It is important to note that my mother passed away from Colorectal Cancer at 28. Her father fought with Colorectal Cancer 3 times in his life and finally died of a stroke when he was 75. Almost everyone that I can name off of the top of my head, (Aunts, Uncles, Grandmother, Grandfather, Cousins) on my mom's side have Type 2 Diabetes. Grandmother died of liver failure at 80.
Finally, I am 5'11 1/2" and weigh 180lbs (last doc said it was a healthy weight, but I can lose weight. Currently, I am dieting and have lost 5lbs in the last month.) I have not gained any weight. I have no been excessively hungry or thirsty. My skin is fine, there is nothing yellow about my eyes or skin. I feel FINE besides the strange smells.
Does anyone have any ideas? I don't have health insurance, but I can go to a doctor. I will have health insurance next Spring when I get married, but sometimes I'm scared that then will be too late. : (
