My pee smells like cheese

48% Normal
17 Comments

I've had a lot of medical problems in my time, but currently I'm running on arthritis, gallstones and a cyst on one kidney. Oh, and diverticular disease which according to my urologist, everyone has. All of which combine for a pretty funky living experience, but I am baffled by a recent development; my urine has started to give off a powerful aroma of cheese. Not quite parmesan level, but maybe wensleydale. Personally I'm relatively stink-free (though my sweat sometimes smells like baby milk...), and it flushes away, but it bugs me. Is it normal, something to do with my gallstones, or what?

    You've been eating poor quality cheese - it smells like pee.

    Try eating asparagus. That will make it smell like rotten cabbage. It does to me and I'm healthy.

    It might be a kidney stone if you've been having pain while urination, Try to go to many different speicalists to get their option on this strange case, hope this helps!!!!!!

    i drank lots of lucozade when i was ill once, and wen i went to pee.. it WAS lucozade.. seriously if you put it back in the bottle you wouldnt know it was pee.. so i am guessing your pee smells like cheese because of a mixture of stuff you have been eating recently

    I don't know how to answer your question because I'm not a doctor and of course you should ask your doctor these kinds of questions but pee normally doesn't smell like cheese. Mine smells like sewage and that could be my on going UTI. I don't know. All I know is that it smells pretty funky.
