Acetate. Urine frequently smells like ammonia. Polish remover is acetate.

I had this once; it was alarming and luckily short-lived. Not sure what it means but I am not diabetic.

Do you eat a lot of asparagus? That can change the smell of your urine.

There are test strips you can buy over the counter to test for ketones in your urine. Do you have any other symptoms?

Also, I never drink alcohol. Diet hasn't changed much besides trying to eat less carbs.

How much alcohol do you drink and have you changed your diet recently? Are you at risk for diabetes?

Maybe ketones in your urine? Does your breath smell fruity? Have you been very thirsty and urinating a lot? (possible signs of diabetes)

Have you been following a low carb or atkins type diet?

Could be ketones. Are you diabetic?

Are you sure it's your urine, and not discharge?

In different bathrooms?

I don't think so. My urine is clear. I have been drinking a lot of water, yet going very infrequently.

Dehydrated?

It's very pungent. Does this mean anything?
