Yeah, vitamins can change the color of your urine! Don't stress about that.

As far as the rest is concerned, make sure you are getting enough fiber. Many people here recommend psyllium husks to keep them up to date. Part of it might just be your body adjusting to the new way of eating and it will all come out fine in the end, so to speak.

What also helps to keep you regular are magnesium pills 3X a day. I do recall reading this in Dr. Atkins' book...just can't remember the section.

Yes, the by-product of the digestion of a B vitamin is bright yellow urine. It's normal.
The change in your diet will affect the appearance of your stool, also normal.

The treatment for both constipation and diarrhea (which some people get on LC) is some fiber like psyllium husk powder. It is ALL fiber so no carbs. I buy mine at the health food store in capsules which make it easy to measure.

Vitamin C and magnesium pills also do the trick. Drink lots of water.
