Hai guys, i'm quite new to bluelight and SWIM needs help!

SWIM have been using kratom for about ~3 months every day, but not in super high doses. About 5-10 capsules each day which swim makes himself :)

lately he has been having some bubbly/foamy urine especially in the morning but also thru the day, decreases depeding on swims water intake. swim always try to hit the side of the toilet to se how much "foam" will build up, it's not much he says but there is certainly some there, if swim doesn't flush the toilet the foam stays for about 3 minutes and then seems to appear, it absolutely not much and nothing like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yvV6t8EaT0 hehe.

But if swim lets his pee hit the water in the toilet the buildup is alot greater, but still not even close to the video-link posted. Also the bubbles goes away after just awhile. He have been searching around the web for what is causing this and swim doesn't like what he is seeing..

Swim can't decide if he is being a hypocondriac or if he is ill... he doesn't fell especially ill and is hoping this is only a mild dehydration. SWIM will try to avoid kratom for a week or two from now on and see how his pee behaves after that. He stopped only for two days once and the morning pee didn't contain that much bubbles even when his pee hit the water...

SWIM really wanna get hold of someone who have been eating small doses to high doses kratom for a prolong period of time who have experiences dehydration or anything like this.. This is making swim a little bit scared and he is really scared that it would be liver/kidney related... Swim only smoke weed and use kratom and nothing else at the moment...

Swim also wanted to inform that one day he was having a burning pain coming from his bladder, similiar to a urinary infection but he doesn't know... he just decreased the dosage and the next morning the sensation was totally gone, but his pee is still foaming/bubbling...

as swim said... when he hits the side of his toilet when he pee's the is some foam, not much at all, covering about 1/15 of the water area of the toilet... the color of his pee is normal, only yellow in the morning and thru the day is quite normal and also less and less bubbles/foam each time he pee's. BUT swim also seem to urinate more frequent when consuming kratom, abnormally much, it's like the water he drinks just goes right thru him. If he doesn't dose any kratom he does not experience this problem, but if doses 5 capsules of kratom he have to urinate twice every hour. He is also a fast drinker and drinks a glass of water quite fast...

Is there anyone who have experiences mild dehydration???

I have read about people getting liver issues with kratom and i don't experience ANYTHING of the symptoms people describe, the dark urine... the itching, pain etc etc...

But swim is still quite scared since he chose kratom as an natural alternative hoping it would not mess with his body in anyway...

could be it that the powdered kratom swim uses finds it's way thru the urinary tract??

SWIM would love getting some help here... and is also thinking about visiting the hospital too... The first 250grams swim used was red vein strain and he didn't seem to get any side effects at all thru all of the 250 grams.. bout 1 + 1/2 months of use (also giving away kratom to his friends etc). during that time he was also doing some blood test for another concern he had and everything showed up normal...

SWIM says he also experince headaches, the dehydrated kind of headache if he doesn't manage his water intake well... but his biggest concern is the foam in the urine... :(

anyways, he will try to just stay off the k for atleast a week or two and see if it disappears... than it would most likely be mild dehydration... another thing he also is experincing is that his extremities gets really gold... mostly hands and feets :(

anyone have a story to share?? 8)

excuse SWIMS bad english too ^^,
 
Foamy urine and painful urination are both symptoms of a urinary tract infection, if your a female the chances are even greater. You can buy UTI dip-sticks at most pharmacies, I would pick some up. Aside from that, sounds like your fine. I've had some degree of foam in my urine since I was a child, it's nothing to freak out over. Regarding the headaches, again, if they only occur when your taking kratom this is likely either dehydration or kratom related. You can find anecdotes of people reporting headaches from kratom.

If you feel like your ill get checked out by a doctor, but to go to the hospital over these minor symptoms is probably a bit excessive and something you may regret when that bill comes and your looked down upon as some drugs user once they find out that kratom is an opioid via the inevitable half-assed google search. My assumption, your fine with the exception of maybe a UTI... but it doesn't hurt to schedule a doctors appointment for peace of mind.
 
Thanks for the response CaptainKratom! Fortunately It wont cost me anything to get checked out by a doctor since I live in scandinavia...
But its most likely related to being quite dehydrated i think... Swim will avoid consuming any kratom for a week or two and see if his morning urine stops foaming meehee :P

I don't really know what UTI dip-sticks is, but i'll try see if i can get hold of it here in my country, luckily i have pretty close to a phramacy :)

ok swim will stop swimming about the toilet :-(

EDIT: Ahh I found that you can buy sticks that test for urinary tract infections so swim will buy one packages of those to test himself if the foaming doesn't stop..
 
By swimming he/she means no use of "swim", it's against the rules... just say I, we know it's you ;). Kratom has diuretic alkaloids so I wouldn't be surprised if it dehydrates a bit. The frequent urination is something I experience as well, it seems diuresis is alot more pronounced than any sort urinary retention for me.

Anyways, drink alot of water, test yourself for UTI's, and if you still have these issues either get checked out or quit, but if I'm being honest this sounds like a case of hypochondria. Of course, schedule a doctors appointment if need be... but a heads up, chances are you know more about kratom than them.

Ps. Your likely to get more replies if you list your side-effects at the top or bottom of your post so people don't have to read through your whole post to pick out what your symptoms are, alot of people skip over long posts. Eg. TL/DR: Side-effects are headaches, increased urine output, painful urination, foam in urine.

Good to hear im not the only one who gets increase urine output...
Sometimes I can even pee up to four times each hour 8o

My girlfriend is making me kinda worried about stuff all the time.
She is 100% sure it's taxing on my liver and she is afraid I am damaging myself x)

She also thinks I am eating it alot, but I enjoy the herb exactly as she enjoys cannabis..
