Leaking Albumin In Urine, Digestion And Bowel Movements Changes After Eating Protein Rich Food. On Vitamin C Tablets. Suggest

Hi doctor, whenever I eat protein rich foods I end up with some irritable changes in digestion and bowel movement. I also leak albumin in my urine when I take protein rich food.


Am constantly putting on weight. So am taking vitamin c tablets daily to help the fat to burn. But unfortunately am still increasing in weight. What could the reason. How can I reduce my weight?

Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

* Protein intake has nothing to do with albumin in urine. Please get your kidney functions evaluated to exclude inherent kidney damage. Please get Blood Urea, Serum Creatinine and ultrasound of kidneys to assess kidney functions.

* You apparently have a food allergy. Isolation of the allergic food can be done by trial and error basis. Common foods which cause this allergy are milk proteins, peanuts, cheese, legumes, eggs etc...Try eliminating one by one from the diet...if digestion becomes all right after eliminating one food, that particular food is the culprit. So, avoid those food(s).

* Weight gain can most commonly,be due to underlying diabetes or hypothyroidism. These conditions will be excluded/confirmed by blood sugar levels and thyroid hormone levels estimation.

* Vit C does NOT reduce body weight. A low calorie, less fat and high protein diet along with regular exercises to burn body fat, will help you in reducing body weight.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The detection of albumin in urine is indication of renal damage you have not mentioned here the value of albumin, in urine, neither the test method, Vitamin c wont help you in reducing your body weight neither this will help you in burning your fat, you can burn your fat with the exercise only, do regular exercise, obesity (Over body weight ) is genetically related phenomenon, have nice day.
