Question:
Is there such a thing as to much protein?
All of sudden I am having urinary infections. It is either to much protein 80-90 grams a day or I need to decrease biotin intake. Now taking 5000 mg. — Arnice (posted on July 15, 2008)

Yes, my trainer says that if you have too much protein intake you can
actually gain weight and she also mentioned that constipation is an
indicator that you are consuming too much protein.

My nutritionist recommends staying at about 70-80 per day. She said more
can cause renal.. meaning kidney issues. So I guess that would make sense
to me. The protien can also interact with certain meds you are on. there
are differences between isolate and whey protien and if you are on thyroid
meds. Something to check into.Just a little fyi.
So far I am on 1000mcg daily and not having an issue and hair loss seems
not to be an issue either yet....

To much protein can cause kidney stones....I would call my Dr and stay with
the numbers he tells you .....everyone is different so ask him......or her

Why are you taking Biotin?
The recommended daily allowance is 30-100 mcg per day, certainly not 5000.
Are you diabetic?
Are you drinking enough water?

Or nut told us that man needs app 90-100gr protein, woman 80-90. More is
not good, but since not all protein are the same, it is good to get protein
from differnt sources. there is a scale for biavalability of protein, and
whey, and eggs are the highest, when soy is not so much. They do not
recommend soy for people with kidney stones, or people with thyroid
problems.

I had reoccurring UTI's in the first few months after my RNY surgery. My
doctor said it was from not drinking enough fluids, to wash all the burned
waste out. (fat being burned) So I started walking around with a jug of
ice-water, stuck with it, and haven't had anymore problems. Hope this
helps.

It's probably all the junk and waste you are getting rid of...All that fat
and weight goes in the toilet...Try adding a probiotic, They help me with
yeast infections and gas and lactose intollerance and irritable bowel
syndrome! Love those probiotics! A little lemon in your water might help
clean the urinary tract a little too

My doctors office told you that anything over 100 would not get absorbed
into the body ... would go right thru you. So, I was told to try to hit 80
grams a day ... anything over that would be wasting my time ... eat veggies
for vitamins in the place of additional protein.

I'm six months out and also taking 5000 biotin...but are you sure it's not
mcg, instead of mg? At any rate, the biotin is helping me TONS, and I'm
not seeing any UI issues. I think you've got it right - you might be
pushing your organs a bit with the protein. My doc recommends 60-75,
that's not TOO much less...

I am 3 1/2 weeks post-op. My Dr. could not stress enough to me to drink
water in between meals. It helps with constipation and flushing the
kidneys.
