Does Eating Chocolate Cause Tiredness, Weight Loss And Blood In Urine?
I m feeling tired, lost weight recently 15 lbs in about 6 months...noticed blood in my urine and stools...could this be dye from eating too much chocolate or should I get it checked? Never had this before, but my Mom had PKD. I m 49 but in good health.

Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
No,chocolate can't cause it and these symptoms may not be related to each other and each of it should be evaluated. Blood in urine is usually sign of uroinfection or urinary stones and you should do urine analysis and ultrasound of kidneys. Tiredness and weight loss are nonspecific signs and hormones check should be done for a start.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
