Anyone else with blood disorders use cannabis? Looking into a strange coincidence, I’ve smoked and ate it since I was 16, recently started peeing blood. Hospital couldn’t find a reason for it, multiple catscans, visits, no answers to what’s causing it. My mother swears its cause I make edibles and eat them (butter) but as far as I know and as much as I’ve looked into it I’ve found zero hemophiliiacs that this has ever happened too. I’m leaning towards the food I eat (mostly processed shit). If anyone has any info that might help it would be greatly appreciated.

Start there. You are what you eat. Having a disorder will only make that decision more important.

Eat clean food, body weight exercises, stop all drugs and supplements except what the doctor prescribes.
Drink mostly water. Hot water.
It’s extreme, but a faster way to get the answer and you will be stronger to fight whatever is happening in your body.
Weed can give you all types of side effects, but there might be something more sinister at the root of this and simplifying your lifestyle will help doctors narrow it down accurately.
When you feel better can add back the things you love slowly and see how your body reacts.
The first week or two is difficult after that you’ll feel great.

I’ve been to the emergency room like 6 times in the last year all tests no answers. I did the food change for weeks and it came back. Every time I go it’s 2-3 days no answers then a massive bill.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. You can try going back to ancient way of living. Very simple for survival. It might help. It helped me, but everybody is different. Extreme Discipline works sometimes.

I have never heard of bleeding being caused by cannabis.
At times I think I am clotting too fast, I don’t bleed much.
I hate to say something so obvious but did they look for kindey stones.
My buddy is always peeing blood but he gets a lot of kidney stones.
Best wishes on finding out what the hell is up.
Peace

Cat scan looked for that, also checked ultrasound. Literally nothing shows up. Its really frustrating cause my mom, insists its cannabis, and we fight about it nonstop.

When I peed blood, it turned out I had an enlarged spleen and kidney inflammation from falling. Be cautious and always see a primary care doc and not an ER doc. They’re flooded with much higher need patients constantly.

Primary care send me to hospital everytime.
Maybe its not blood? Beetura can cause red pee.

Nah they tested my pee, besides its dark red pure blood coming out. Worst in the morning too.

I have been having kidney problems myself, no blood in my urine though. From what I am learning about kidney and urinary tract, it could be a couple of things related to your kidneys and or bladder.
My kidney function dropped rapidly a couple of months ago it’s picked up now I have changed my diet around again. Nothing showed up on an ultrasound or xray, just had a CT scan on Monday, so waiting on those results but I don’t think it’s kidney stones. The kidney specialist is confused so I am having blood tests every 2 weeks, and a 24 hour urine collection once a month for the next 3 months.
These 3 things are the top kidney killers in order of destructiveness. High blood sugar and or diabetes, high blood pressure, which goes hand in hand with carb intake, then prescription pharmaceuticals.
What I believe I have had is a very high intake of foods that contain Oxalates, which are found in plant foods like vegetables, fruit, salad, spices, nuts and one of the biggest dark chocolate or cocoa.
Oxalates are created by the plant to protect it, they are toxic and form crystals in the body, most go through your stomach if they bind with calcium, if you are eating high oxalate foods your body cant flush them all out, so they get stored in places that have inflammation making things worse. When your body has an opportunity to flush them out from low oxalate consumption they go into the blood stream and through your kidneys, shredding the fine filtering system as they become like little calcified nano crystal razor blades and can cause bleeding in the kidneys, bladder and urinary tract…
Other problems like ulcerative kidneys or stones are usually picked up with a cat scan, so if your eating a lots of almonds, cashews, peanuts, spinach, Tumric spice, dark chocolate and rhubarb are the worst this might be the cause. Some people have died eating to much rhubarb, it shuts the kidneys down very quickly.
My problem was compounded by eating high oxalate foods and then fasting, which causes a massive oxalate dump into the blood, since I have cut out the high and medium oxalate containing foods my kidneys have stopped hurting and are gradually getting better. You have to ween yourself of them slowly to avoid getting a big clear out dump which screws the kidneys.
Weed will contain Oxalates but I have not seen anything to suggest its in high amounts.
Here’s a list of foods and oxalate content, it’s recommended to stay under 100mg a day once you have them under control.

There is some information on the web that suggests that CBD can interfere with your kidneys ability to process other drugs. If you are imbibing a fair amount of CBD content, you might try removing that aspect for a while and see how it goes.
