I've been having UTI-like symptoms on and off. Burning, pain, difficulty going, and extremely foul smelling. However, if I make sure I'm super hydrated (pale yellow-clear urine), then I'm fine. But the burning, pain, etc start up if I get dehydrated. I've had 2 urine tests done, and they're both totally normal.

I'm not prone to UTIs at all, probably ever had a couple.

Could this somehow be related to Lyme or confections?

Any herbs I might want to look into?

Could this mean I have a detox issue?

Sounds very similar to what I've had for the last 17 years or so without the difficulty going part. The burning doesn't occur for me either if my urine is pale yellow or clear but will be 24/7 if I drink coffee probably because of the acidity. I know Interstitial Cystitis can be caused by Lyme. Here's just one of many studies showing the link:

sayyadina - yes - there could be a serious infection that is presenting itself as a UTI, that is what happened to me. You need more than a regular urine test, need to have a culture done. Something is causing it...and usually Cipro will knock it out.
