What Causes Dark Color And Unusual Smell In The Urine?

For several months, i have had urine that smells like sour kraut. It may be somewhat darker in appearance. I'm not sure i have any discomfort, since i have some intestinal issues. I had a blood print done for food allergies! And am on a diet that avoids many common foods (milk, eggs wheat tomatoes, etc. should i have a urine test?

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms seem to be related to a urinary tract infection.

I suggest to do a urine test to confirm the diagnosis.

I recommend using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.

If the diagnosis is confirmed, the treatment consists in antibiotics.

Hope my answer was helpful.
