Neo bladder question

I asked about this very thing and no, your diet really won't affect your intestinal mucus output. It's not the same as nasal mucus, which diet can and does affect.

But the mucus output does decrease--my urine looks, for the most part, normal. After surgery, it looked like what Patricia said: egg drop soup. To continue the soup metaphor, it now looks like a fine vegetable stock.

Thanks pat. It’s nice to know that mucus will die-down eventually. Luckily I haven’t had any problems with blockages due to over production of mucus. But I wonder is there any relationship with diet and mucus? I would imagine that avoiding dairy products might have a good effect on mucus production. I do know that when I’ve been physically active – my urine becomes almost like syrup.

Exactly...its more like putting the white of an egg into water....its still there but not the chunky kind!! Pat

Hi pat,

could you be more specific regarding the above. I'm not familar with egg drop soup. Do you mean that the mucus in the urine becomes more loose?

Thanks,

Karl

Yep it will always be there but rest assured it will eventually realize its new role in life and only produce the consistency of egg drop soup after 6 months or so. :

Hi Betsy,

I have a neobladder too and I also freak out how much mucus there is at times also. Sometimes it is hard to believe. I am under the impression it will always be there.
