I know before I even start that this my be too much information, but I need to know if anyone else has experienced the same thing.  I have noticed when I urinate I have something that looks almost like sand.  Mind you, it's not huge amounts, but it is noticeable.  Is it possible that I am urinating my vitatmins out.  It looks a lot like the Flinstone vitamins and I notice it more between 1 - 3 hours after taking my vitamins. Any experiences would be helpful. thanks April

Unless your intestines are connected to your bladder (unfortunately, this is possible) you wouldn't be urinating anything but kidney waste products. You may want to have a urinalysis to check this out. There is also the possibility that you are urinating out salt crystals that are small bits of what would make up a kidney stone. The only way to be sure is to go to your doctor & have it checked out. I think you would agree that this is not normal - and if it is a new symptom, you should pay attention to it.
