What Causes Metallic Odour To Urine While On Probiotics?

I have just started taking probiotics VSL#3 and have only taken 2 doses. Just noticed today my pee smells really bad. Doesn t smell fishy or like yeast infection, no burning etc. But almost smells kinda like metal! The probiotics is the only change in diet. Could it be from the probiotics?

Yes, it could be given the probiotic. But in order to be clear about diagnosis, it would be a great idea to do an urine test. More, if you have symptoms like dysuria.
