Again, it's too early. The sentence should have stated: “The issue STARTED”, and I put the post in the wrong place. I'm going for a long walk….

Thanks for trying Nathalie. The issue stated when I found this site talking about how much water to dirink. I don't drink any water and have a problem with going to much. I guess I was just letting folks know of the opposite problem. Have a great day!

I'm sorry but I don't think I can help with your issue. I would recommend you to move toward a raw food diet, since that's what I talk about here on the site… but beyond that I don't think I can really recommend anything.

Good luck solving your issue!

Thanks for replying Nathalie! I don't eat salt of any kind. I do not eat processed foods or fast foods. Any protein I have is salmon (4 times a week), tuna (2 times a week), and chicken (1 time a week). How is this protein packaged before I eat it? I buy those tear open packets and pour the product into a fine collander, and then rinse them well to get the salt out. My sodium intake is extremely low. Any sodium I do accidentally get is revolting to me and I have to spit it out. I walk 6-8 miles a day and have issues with having to go to the bathroom in the middle of my walks (this is the reason for this whole subject). Many times, it's “go find a tree”. Thanlfully, the police have never observed me. I would probably have to explain myself if they did. I eat, on average, 2 slices of whole grain bread (the first ingredient is Whole wheat flour) per day. The bread is for the salmon, tuna, and chicken. I'll also add a slice of Yarlsburg Lite cheese too to add some protein. The cheese is kind of low sodium but is spread out over the entire piece of bread, so I don't taste the salt too much. I also eat an apple, orange, and some other fruit after all of my walks (which are in the mornings). So I can't just add certain foods to my diet. Adding sodium is a difficult task for me. I did notice that if I “fast” the day before a walk, I don't have to pee during my walks. Obviously, it's obvious why… But I do need to eat, right?

Hmm... I'm not sure about ways to cut down on peeing so often. I always saw it as a good thing to go to the bathroom often. One thing that came to mind was how much sea salt you eat? Salt is useful for balancing the saline levels in your body, and in your case might help with keep some water.

That being said, I can see how eating a lot of animal protein could also impact how often you pee. You are essentially releasing some of those purines through your urine.

I'm not really an expert when it comes to peeing too often and the major causes, but give the sea salt (not iodized table salt) a try and see how it goes. (Or if you already eat a lot of salt, take it out.) Experimentation is your friend.

Don't worry, I edited your comment so it's been fixed. :)

Sorry about the mistake in there. “I PEE TOO MUCH”. Not “I eat pee too much”. It's early in the morning.

I get 60 grams of fiber a day from eating veggies and I'm not a vegetarian. I just like them. Unfortunately, I eat pee too much because of that. Since eating veggies is the purest way to get your water, I never get thirsty; thus, I do not drink water, unless I need to swallow a pill. I need a way to cut down on peeing and it is always clear. Can't find anthing on the internet regarding this. I did see that exercise and a high protein diet makes you pee more. I do both but I wonder if that advice is correct.
