Default strange question?

This may sound odd, but here goes. I've been on this WOE for 18 days, feelin' great losing weight, lot of energy etc. Does anybody notice that their pee has a grean hue to it. It's not just me, my DH is experiencing this as well as my sister. (i've got everybody in my life adopting this WOL)
I'm worried about it - just curious.

Probable your vitamin supplement.
Since I use a new supplement mine looks as if I've been nibbling some nuclear waiste the other evening.
Bright neon yellow! I know that it comes from my supplement.

I did think about that....but strange thing is my sister lives across the country - she isn't taking the same vitamins that I am. It's funny, I read these boards all the time, I've read through the good Dr. A's book many times and no mention of this side effect.

Default Thanks Louisa!

I tried the search but came up empty....perhaps it is the vitamins -I'm taking a bunch of the buggers.

Thanks to all for responding to my question though!

It's the Vit B. which is found in just about any multi vitamin.

The funniest thing is that it glows under UV lights

very scary!!!
