Asparagus wee - with poll

[farmerbarleymow]

So, in light of Proper Tidy's potato and onion love thread, do you experience the dreaded asparagus wee?

I have vile stinky piss after eating asparagus.

Sugar puff piss

That can't be asparagus - I have had that before, but think it's sugar related.

 

[JimW]

My sense of smell is a bit shot so no idea really. Where's my poll option?

 

[killer b]

I do have smelly piss after asparagus, as we all do, but I wouldn't call it vile.

Can be diabetes if it smells of sugar puffs but in my case its only after asparagus. Bit sulphury too

 

[Espresso]

In strangely serendipitous news, I have just had some asparagus for my tea. Never eaten it before in my whole life, thought it was lovely. As I have never had it before I do not already know the answer to this question.

I shall report back when I have news.

i appreciate appropriate feedback from my environment when i might have consumed a particular item in excess. asparagus is rarely that item

Pretty nasty and...surprisingly long lasting...(not just 1 wee)

The production of odorous urine after the ingestion of asparagus has been shown to occur in 43% of 800 volunteers investigated. This characteristic is reproducible over a 12-month-period and has been shown to remain with individuals for virtually a lifetime. Family studies suggest that the ability to produce the odorous urine is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.

Sugar puff piss

Yep smells like sugar puffs to me too but it's not really strong or that unpleasant

Poll amended.

I only have to eat a tiny amount of it to trigger the horror. It's just awful.

Maybe my memory playing up...but I'm only really aware of being afflicted by the problem in the last 10 years or so. Never recall any issue when younger.

you should know quickly enough - the change is almost immediate IME

Asparagus Pee? Why Only Some People Smell It

So, it's less a case of whether or not your wee smells and more to do with whether or not your nose functions in a certain way. Apparently.

Have you been exposed to a source of ionising radiation?

That's true - within an hour usually and the smell hits next time I go for a piss.

I know now.
The answer is no. Nothing noticeable.

Not knowingly....got me worried now.

 

[brogdale]

Give it time....

 

[farmerbarleymow]

I do have smelly piss after asparagus, as we all do, but I wouldn't call it vile.

Maybe it depends on the degree to which individuals metabolise the components and the resulting stench? My asparagus piss is properly unpleasant, so it's interesting to know that other's are less so.

Definitely a mutant. I'm envious

Beetroot wee's evil twin.

it's quite strong and pungent here, I just don't find it disgusting

 

[wayward bob]

beetroot wee is a pleasant dabble in the world of weird-wee. imho.

eta: all you have to do is check your dates before you start panicking

Eh...what's up with beetroot? Is that colour...not smell?
Never been bothered by this.

Beetroot wee is pretty - but it's probably the nearest equivalent to evil asparagus wee in how foodstuffs can wreak havoc on urinary excretions.

are you a person who menstruates?

 

[brogdale]

Right...now I'm getting confused...(I've had a few beers)...what does beetroot do to yer piss?
