Suddenly started to smell my "asparagus pee" after years of never detecting it. implies some change. ideas?

Normal: You should have an odor of the breakdown products of asparagus in your urine sometime after eating. This means you have normal absorption and metabolism of the asparagus. I don't know why you never detected the odor before, however.
