Having reddish / bloody urine while fasting and not on my period

It’s been approximately 20 days since I started, and while google is suggesting things like kidney failure and internal bleeding, I feel absolutely fine (apart from the gross mouth and heartburn). Do I need to stop the fast? Anyone has experience with this before?

Answer

I would absolutely stop, and consult a doctor. I’m on day 28 of an extended, and that sounds scary.

The only thing I would say- are you sure it’s not an extra watery bowl movement? I had a few of those around day 20.

How long has this been happening?

I also want to say, I have worried this entire fast. Worried I am not getting enough electrolytes, worried about kidney stuff, just worried all around. Great job on your fast! I’m sorry this happening to you. I’m worried I will get re feed syndrome and have issues in a couple days. You’re not alone. ♥️

Answer

Brown colored urine is how I knew by dog was dying. It is not normal.

Now yes, sometimes you can be mistaken and it could be a stool or time of month.

Do not take the risk and see a doctor ASAP. Especially if you are also lethargic and your hair is falling out. If that is you go to the ER.
