Dear gmhelin,
Are you drinking Monster Energy Drinks every day? Are you on any blood thinning medications? Or an RX that has side effects with what is in a lot of Energy Drinks and tablets? I am on Coumadin and I drank two large Monster Energy drinks and I urinated blood. At the ER they did a lot of tests and checked everything and they could not figure out why...until they asked me if I traveled out of the country to some exotic locales--No--then they wanted to know everything I ate and drank for the previous 48 hours. The two large Monster Energy drinks were the only food/drink that contained herbs, supplements to thin your blood. I stopped drinking Monster Energy Drinks and I have never had another episode. I hope and pray that your medical problem will be healed/cured quickly. God bless you.
Sincerely
MaryinKansas

Wouldn't the colonoscopy have shown that? No doctor seems to be concerned but it is driving me nuts. I have seen three specialists and they all tell me this happens sometimes. Will be having another CAT scan in 6 months. thanks
No monster drinks or coumadin. I did read that Lipitor will sometimes cause blood in urine so went off that a couple of weeks ago. Thanks
Dear gmhelin,
Many supplements, foods and over the counter (OTC) drugs can be and are blood thinners. Here is a link to an interesting article that lists a number of foods, supplements and OTC drugs that may have caused your medical troubles.
I am glad to hear you were able to discontinue Lipitor so you can be certain if this scary episode happened because of a side effect to Lipitor or not. I hope you will read the information from this link as I was very surprised to see a number of foods and supplements that I had no idea were blood thinners.. Hope it helps you find answers.
Sincerely,

My name is Jimmy J and the same thing happened to me with Monster Energy drinks yesterday evening I started noticing blood in my urine and all of a sudden hearing about 30 minutes ago it just stopped and it cleared up thank you for posting your experiences with Monster Energy drinks so from this point forward I must make it my best effort not to drink another one again thank you again for protein you experience.

It could be parasites in your intestines. A simple stool sample from your Dr. will let you know if that's the case. Good luck!
