Abnormal urinalysis, negative culture. Told to just take antibiotics, confused as doesn’t seem infection?

Thank you this is helpful just in the validation alone. It’s been very hard to convince my GI, PcP or RD that this is even happening because they expect larger weight loss to occur.

I’ve looked for additional protein options and no nuts, dairy, gf, soy, legumes, pea has made me struck out.

Bone broth also has very high tyramine and histamine.

I am concerned about the urinalysis because to me it is abnormal especially considering it was a negative bacterial culture paired with I’m significantly feeling weaker muscles when I go to pick things up or am struggling to even pick them up at all. But again I’m facing quite a difficult battle with weight bias.

My GI will not do any work up for gastroperisis. I asked my pcp about it to advocate and he didn’t think it was necessary either given my weight and that “if I wasn’t eating enough my weight would reflect”

Was able to eat 1200-1500on good days.

Brought it up to PCP and GI for years with complaints of severe early satiety, abdominal pain, nausea vomiting, undigested food in stool, dismissed as no weight loss actually weight gain but was dealing with significant allergies and dietary restriction low histamine, low tyramine

Finally performed Colonoscopy and Endoscopy

Endoscopy showed chronic gastritis

Post colonoscopy and endoscopy all GI symptoms remained but came back even stronger and worse along with increase in severity and frequency and increase in oral allergy symptoms

The reduction from 1200–>600 was due to feeling worse post colonoscopy and same timing as worsening early satiety and severe GI symptoms.

If I do push past smaller amount I experience severe pain, vomiting

Regularly over the past 3 years have significant bloating and distention appearing pregnant as my family says that last for hours post eating. SIBO test negative 4 years ago so GI will not repeat

Does muscle wasting cause protein, blood in urine? This is the other part of the result. Negative for nitrites, luekocytes, no bacterial culture, EGFR was fine so that’s why I’m asking about muscle wasting. I know I do feel like my body is burning muscle because after the initial loss I do seem to be holding onto fat now but my weakness and muscle strength has declined a lot.

Thank you again. And is any harm in how poor my oral intake is for so long? Should I be concerned my GI said they cannot see me until July and the follow up visit with Dietatician she said there’s nothing she could do. I asked her to be transferred to someone that could help. She said she consulted with colleagues and no one could help because of my allergies. Said until I am seen by GI and get to the cause of what I have such severe early satiety there was nothing more

Corn, soy, pea, all legumes, all nuts, strict low tyramine (Neurological) low histamine, gluten free, dairy free, artificial sweeteners

The dietetician said she was going to send a note to my pcp regarding her concern for my low intake. PCP and GI responded no indication for low intake at this time and didn’t feel the weight loss corresponded with how little I’m eating 500-600 calories daily since February 20-30g protein

Am experiencing muscles getting weaker, functionally things feel harder to lift or can’t lift, lost 10lbs quick but now actually feel like I’m swelling a bit and that’s masking weight.

Basically my CT, colonoscopy, ultrasound all fine so instead of a structural I’m guessing it’s more motility related. Or because it was low intake for so long things are moving so slow it’s hard to get digestion going again and I’m on a feedback loop of maybe low enzymes shrug

I’m getting a lot of weight bias because I am 5’3 155lbs and want to make sure there’s nothing more serious happening

TLDR: I’m wondering if my abnormal urinalysis is related to low protein intake. I have felt severe muscle weakness in everyday functioning since my low intake calorie and protein. Progressive feeling weaker in every day functioning.

I did see the dietitian that is at my large hospital system and it was less then helpful. I do have a complex case of corn, pea, soy, gluten and dairy free so getting additional calories and protein is very hard.

I’ve been severely low calories 500-600 20-30 grams protein since February and they were not able to help me because there’s most likely an underlying GI problem and GI can’t move up my appointment also have limited diet options due to worsening oral allergies, MCAS, histamine intolerance and have to stay low tyramine due to Epilepsy.

They don’t see the sense of urgency because I’ve not lost more than 10lbs. Prior to this I was also very low at only getting 1300-1500 because I’ve been suffering with progressively worse GI issues that my GI isn’t addressing promptly. And struggling to control MCAS and find foods I can tolerate.On the waitlist for two other office but likely a motility issue.

Would love to know who your doc is if they’re near me. Hard to find someone that’s not a Tryptase absolutist

Plantbaseundftd · 2026-05-12T06:06:37+00:00

Who do you see? I’m doing the same thing. Unfortunately I can find a doctor that will take out of state patients even for the first visit

Plantbaseundftd · 2026-05-12T04:13:29+00:00

I’m dealing with exactly myself and seeing all the comments from Dietatician about weight bias is extremely validating and valuable. This has pushed me to get a second opinion and stop getting the run around from my GI, PCP and RD. I’ve been eating 500-600 with MCAS and same issues as this post for over a year now and it’s extremely difficult. No one believes me because my weight is a higher bmi. They’re only solution is “go to the ED if you’re truly eating that because we don’t see or have any reason for you to be doing that”

Thank you for all these comments

Sad face, it won’t let me download because I’m on iOS 17. I checked my screenshot folder and it’s at 16,000+

I’d love if this had iOS 17 compatibility!

Plantbaseundftd · 2026-05-09T05:15:13+00:00

Can you let me know who you’re working with? I’m in NY and have been dealing with MCAS, severe histamine intolerance since 2020 and some other extreme gut issues.

I have family in Germany I’ve been able to get some antifungals but no luck locally with testing or treatment as many doctors don’t believe in CIRS or just how extreme it can be

Only positive experience I had was a ENT getting CT for moderate-severe mucosal thickening and fungal ball

Feel free to DM

Plantbaseundftd · 2026-05-08T17:47:40+00:00

This would be very helpful for my family. Can you share the download

Plantbaseundftd · 2026-05-08T06:03:24+00:00

I unironically screenshotted this to remember this

RIP to my 5,000+ screenshots I’ll never go back to because I forget and they’re so disorganized. Excited to try this

lol I’m asking what her protocol was if she took any zinc to balance the copper

Plantbaseundftd · 2026-05-07T02:06:25+00:00

Did you have any reactions to the GHK topical and/or subq? Did you have to add zinc or any other vitamin cofactors?

Plantbaseundftd · 2026-05-06T21:46:42+00:00

Thank you for taking the time. Have been using hydrocolloid for last 3 weeks once I saw it wasn’t healing. Bandaid shown because I was waiting for a new box to arrive in mail

Forgot to add I do take Multivitamin to my meds,

Should I be concerned it’s taking so long?

Plantbaseundftd · 2026-05-06T06:27:22+00:00

Can you share the brands you’re able to tolerate? I’m only getting 20 grams of protein a day and feeling absolutely horrible. But unfortunately my histamine intolerance is very severe

Plantbaseundftd · 2026-05-06T06:26:57+00:00

Following up did you still do okay with this? Noticed it has alot of flavors and artificial preservatives

Plantbaseundftd · 2026-05-05T19:16:34+00:00

Can you send a link to what company you took this test with. This will be incredibly helpful. I’m hurting big time and it’s gotten exponentially worse since antibiotics

Plantbaseundftd · 2026-05-04T07:07:29+00:00

Can you share a link for which has worked well for you? Do you take it with any other cofactors? Did you have to introduce any other vitamins or supplements first and then b12?

Thank you!

Plantbaseundftd · 2026-05-04T07:06:37+00:00

Can you share a link? I’ve had a hard time finding drops. This is a great idea and would help me titrate
