What Causes Abdominal Bloating And Anuria?
I have been bloated for quite some time now and I drink plenty of fluids but I am not urinating hardly at all and I have firm bowl movements. I m also thirsty often but to full to drink anymore. I could drink 12 beers and maybe pee one time which has never been the case for me. I wore a hoodie to work in 95 degree weather and I was hardly sweating and still felt bloated but no cramps anywhere. Any ideas?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Decreased urination can be due to different causes including dehydration.
If you are noting a decrease in urination even though you are drinking enough fluids for the heat, then you may need to be assessed by your doctor. Kidney function would be assessed by blood tests (creatinine and BUN), as well as urine tests.
Bloating may not be related to kidney disease, it is usually related to the gastrointestinal tract.
It can be due to : (A) constipation
(B)reflux
(C)use of gas producing foods such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, beans , turnips, carbonated drinks, prunes
(D)food intolerance
(E)lactose intolerance
(F)irritable bowel syndrome
(G)side effect of medication
If you use the foods mentioned or there is a history of constipation or reflux, one of these may be the cause.
If this is not the case, one of the other causes would need to be considered.
I hope this helps
