See a doctor: Foamy bubbly urine is possibly urine filled with proteins. Normal urine should not have protein in it. Many conditions cause significant protein loss in the urine, one of them being diabetes. With a family history of diabetes and since diabetes is the number one cause of kidney failure in the us, i would get it checked out.
