Re: Positive protien in the urine

[Guest guest]

.

Do bring it to the pediatrician... Always is better safe than sorry...

2 possible reasons I can think of:

- Is his urine very concentrated? How is his density? Very dense

urines may give false positives.

- How do you test? In the diaper or with cotton?... Try to get a

clean sample and test again... I mean, in a bag or a container...

That should give you an accurate result.

Sometimes some diaper brands will give false positives as well...

Some detergents as well..

Multisticks are super extra archi sensitive... The do react!

Hope it helps

So does , has done most of the time he has been on the diet. (2 and

a half yrs) If blood traces were to show on the multistix at the same time

it would raise more of a warning re kidney stones I think,

Thanks so much for the replies. I thought it had something to do w/

the diet b/c we were normal pre-diet. No other symptoms of

problems, gaining weight slowly but steady, doing exceptionally well

overall. Probably just make a note about it and it there are other

symptoms look into it further. Thanks sooo much!
