Question

I was just wondering if frequent urination could be caused by a food allergy. I introduced eggs into my diet just recently with the most obvious symptom being frequent urination, specifically at night. When I mean frequent, I mean every 15-20 minutes, sometimes not complete but just a small drizzle. I remember I had the exact same symptoms when I introduced tomatoes into my diet after avoiding them for so long. Can a food allergy cause this or should look our for other possible causes?

	Too much protein? – Paul Jul 27 2011 at 6:56
	Maybe? I have been eating a bit more because I got into lifting weights again recently. – ROB Jul 27 2011 at 15:31

When you mentioned tomatos I immediately recalled reading about salicylate intolerance causing "urgency to pass water," but I don't know about eggs.

	Hmm...interesting. – ROB Jul 27 2011 at 15:31
	Yes, salicylate intolerance can do that but also haven't heard about eggs. – ddibwynt Jul 27 2011 at 16:15

Try removing the eggs from your diet and see if it gets better. Then, reintroduce them and if it returns you've got your answer.

	I have done that, and sometimes symptoms come back, other times they don't. – ROB Jul 27 2011 at 15:32
	My guess is it's not eggs then - might check out salicylate intolerance. Check out the failsafe elimination diet. failsafediet.wordpress.com/… – ddibwynt Jul 27 2011 at 16:18

I practiced Elimination Communication (also known as Infant Potty Training) with my third and fourth kids. I didn't notice a correlation but many of the other moms I knew noticed that unusually frequent urination was connected to food allergies. Of course, adults are toilet trained, so it's a little different, but I'd say you were spot on.

Frequent urination and food allergy?
