Avatar n tn The test strips that I use are 10LG Parameter Urine Reagent Strips which can be bought on line at a reasonable price. These strips detect Leukocytes, Nitrite, Urobilinogen, Protein, pH, Blood, Specific Gravity, Ketone, Bilirubin, Glucose. You can get strips that detect less. The one that would be of interest if someone is suffering from dehydration is the Specific Gravity reading.
Avatar f tn I'm 25 weeks pregnant. At around 19 weeks, after having urethral pain for 2 weeks, I went to the ER as i was certain I did have a UTI, even though my doctor dismissed my symptoms and told me the leukocytes and bacteria found were from contamination. I was in considerably more pain that same night so headed to the ER where they confirmed I had a UTI and put me on cephalexin. I took it for 4 days until I started having diarrhea.
284738 tn?1283106819 but if you use PH strips, you can test your secretions...if it is 7 and above then it is amniotic fluid.....but anything below...usually you are safe if it is in the 2-3 range...... Your Dr. can also test this and you should probably call...I had this happen to me numerous times and I was so worried that I was leaking fluid but it was that nice leukorhea....it's gross and for me very wet with some white stuff.....
Avatar n tn I forgot to mention that an improper pH balance will cause headaches, low energy, and a poor ammune system. You can buy pH test strips at your local Rx.
6036387 tn?1395008183 Does any lady's know of a way to test at home for leaking fluid like strips or something
2011837 tn?1343797528 It could be urine or it could be fluid. Go to walmart and pick up some ph test strips from the fishie section! U should be able to test it that way! Urine is acidic whereas amniotic fluid is not!
Avatar f tn You can always buy test strips at target or pharmacy. PH strips you can test the discharge and it will tell you if its just urine or amniotic fluid.
Avatar f tn You can also purchase urine PH strips over the counter at a local pharmacy and check the PH yourself. Diet plays a major role in Urine PH as well. What do you feed? If your dog had a culture and sensitivity run on her urine, that would tell you the exact bacteria responsible and give you the best antibiotic to eliminate it. Conformation of a dogs vulvar area can also be a factor.
Avatar f tn It's the ph test strips. If it's amniotic fluid it should show between a 7-7.
Avatar f tn Ooo, that's a keeper, Stella, thank you. Just started having that problem myself. Karen, I hope it works for you tonight! (And yes, I'm constipated too, though all the fiber I'm eating does fight its way through now and then. TT and one parathyroid out on 7/18.

Avatar n tn Vaxa International PH Test Strips and Buffer PH homeopathic pills can be purchased from iHerb online. These strips can test both urine and saliva. Urine is preferred method of testing your PH.
Avatar f tn Clean your body of chemicals. Go to health food store and get pH test strips. Anything lower than 7.3 means your whole body is acidic and disease runs ramped in an acidic body. Start detoxing. You'll watch your life go down in a downward spiral if you don't start paying attention to what you are doing with it right now....if you get a toxic liver, there is no test for that.
Avatar m tn You can buy on line Urine Reagent Strips quite cheaply. There are some that test the urine just for glucose, but they do not give an accurate recording of how much sugar there is in the blood stream. These sticks are a good indicator, but they will only detect glucose in the urine if there is above a certain level (fairly high) of glucose in the urine. An HbA1c blood test shows average blood glucose levels over a sustained period (about a 3 month period).
Avatar m tn Lactulose and Mannitol test or PEG test. Underlying this is a possible fungal overgrowth or candida and low gastric acid (suspected) makes it worse. Also I recommend you self-test for PH levels, both urine and saliva at various time over the next little while. You need to buy some PH strips. Have you tried a carb-free diet, or at least low carb, avoiding ALL simple carbs from alcohol, dairy, refined carbs, sugar including artificial, etc.? I suspect that you will find improvement from this.
Avatar n tn But if you really did have something wrong like a gallstone or other bile blockage, then the urine test will remain constant in showing the problem on repeated tests. If you didn't have the strip stored properly, the testing chemicals on the strip will become compromised/contaminated and will give you the crazy results. Be sure your test strips are stored in a small, airtight container. And that you use a clean urine collection cup as well.
Avatar f tn I have been scared of ngu or some other form of infection. I have used multiply uti test strips which test white blood cell count in urine. None have been positive, one or two showed trace amount of wbc (I've taken about 18 tests). Would these show an infection (ngu) if one existed???
168348 tn?1379357075 Enzymes, bromelin, papaya tabs, asedolfolis (spelling). Check saliva PH (test strips) in the morning. Might need to alkalize , or might need more acid (apple cider vinegar).
Avatar n tn Also check the PH levels of your urine by using PH home test strips (purchased at a helath food store) and/or try using digestive enzymes. Avoid drinking liquids during meals and eat as many vegetables as posible as these are almost the only non acidic foods (alkaline foods).
Avatar f tn I was going to buy it until i found that out. Cuz at my 15week appt i had a urine test done and it showed my ph level which was high so i went off that and at 18weeks i found out it was a girl.
Avatar n tn a mild detox should be practices to rid your PH level. In order to balance your PH - there are strips available at drug/health stores. Check out your Ph within your body (urine testing) . It is a cheap way to maintain a PH level and you will notice the changes and see the PH changing as it happens. So sardines for you right now. Get your PH under control - I am sure this is part of your problem.
Avatar f tn Yes, a urine quick test can tell you if you have WBC, but not if you have gonorrhea, chlamydia, NGU or another infection that could be causing that. You need specific tests for that. If you have concerns about those, you need to let the doctor know so they can do specific tests.
