Re: foul smelling urine

I guess a candida connection is always possible. Other common causes of foul smelling urine are:

-Urinary tract infection (frequent urination, itching, or burning too)
-Insufficient fluid intake (urine is too concentrated)
-Changes in diet
-Infection with E. coli bacteria can cause a foul odor
-Diabetes or starvation can cause a sweet, fruity odor
-Vitamins and certain foods (asparagus, for example) can give urine an unusual smell
-Ketonuria, maple Sugar urine disease (an inherited metabolic disorder that's characterized by urine that smells similar to maple syrup) (Rare)
-Phenylketonuria, an abnormal connection between the rectum and the bladder (rectal fistula) (Rare)
-Liver failure (Uncommon)
