A member asked:
Every so often my urine will smell of terrible chemicals for a week at a time. no pain involved. nothing was found in a urine test, what could it be?

Not sure: Most smells/odors in the urine are a direct cause from what we eat or drink. Assuring your urinalysis was normal, start playing detective and keeping a food diary, and you may find out what is causing your foul smelling urine. Best wishes.
