Re: gas/bloating after starting ut?

I'm not sure I can answer your question but I'll give you my experiences.

I've been ingesting urine for over three years.  The results were subtle, but real, within a couple of weeks.  My purpose for UT in the first place was to try and improve my peripheral artery disease - which hasn't happened with UT, but anyway, that was my purpose so what did happen was totally unexpected.  My athlete's foot problem of several decades disappeared within a couple of weeks.  My sensitivity to light at night, disappeared within perhaps two to three weeks, that had been with me since earliest memory.  Prior to UT when I'd wake in the middle of the night and switch on a light, it would blind me and hurt, not any more.  I had serious skin conditions that required dermatologist intervention every six months - that cleared up in about eight months - per the dermatologist.  Have had other improvements too.

When I first started UT it gave me loose stools, even at a tablespoon or two at a time, but within a couple of weeks I was up to a cup and a half a day, and that problem went away.  Except, on occasion, that will happen.  Will happen one day, then not the next several, so I can't predict when it will occur or why.  It definitely does have an effect on the gastro intestinal system.

Here's something that I recently learned.  My doc put me on Lisinopril for high blood pressure several months ago.  Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor, I had refused to be put on beta blockers with all their problems.  Well, after several months on Lisinopril I one day forgot to take them and the leg cramps I'd been experiencing while walking - just went away.  I stopped Lisinopril (don't take any BP meds) and low and behold the sensitivity to light at night that I'd had while on it, went away.  Had never really associated the return of my light sensitivity to Lisinopril, but that's why it returned.  During Lisinopril I even had to wear sun glasses during the day on bright days.  All that has returned to normal since quitting the med.  My point is that if you are on prescription medications in particular, it can disrupt your urine therapy.  I am currently on a ten day dosage of antibiotics (I hate to take 'em) to treat a prostate infection.  During this time my urine has gone from a very light taste (which occurred about a couple of weeks after beginning UT) to a horrible bitter taste, and I know it's the antibiotics.

Don't know if any of that helped or not, but the message for me has been there are things you are ingesting that can counteract UT, and also many things that will change the taste.  You are taking your urine in significant quantities that it should help you, so that's not a problem.  (I can't drink mine after 5 pm or it will keep me awake all night long.)

I'm on a high protein/high meat diet to control diabetes so your eating meats shouldn't be a problem.

I'd say that if you can, give it three months.  It was about that length of time for a scalp condition of mine to really start to heal.
