I think I have come across this on here but a search didn't yield much. I think I had a bunch of pretty large white flakes just come out in my urine. I say "think" because it was so weird I am thinking,"was it somehting already in the toilet or paper?' but I think it actually was in the urine. This has never happened in almost 2 yrs of treatment. Do you htink it could be a good sign? My bladder has not been good in fact yesterday was straight up BAD

If you pee on toilet paper that has been sitting in the toilet for awhile it will bust up in tiny pieces and float around. I did have, early on in treatment, small white things floating in my urine. In the beginning I used to catch the pee in a cup to see the color and to see how much I was voiding. Next time you pee, do it in something clear, if it still has white floaties it is most likely die off. I've heard people say it is bladder lining. I'm not sure what it is, I would ask Matia.

Hi Deir! If it is white flakes actually in your urine you are not alone! I always have cloudy and flakes in my urine. Actually just had my urine checked for UTI and it was WBC's. I have had this from a very young age. I would say this is a good thing, and you are clearing the bad out! Perhaps and healing crisis! Hope your bladder starts to feel better soon! Keep us posted!

I have had this before too, Dr.B said it is also a sign of inflammation or could be die off. How is your bladder feeling now??

I've been getting these more often lately too!  I think it's a good thing.

I had this early in treatment. I read somewhere on a candida board that it might be yeast?
