Kidney discomfort, orange urine.?!
Question: 2 days ago I had the flu, or so I was told form the doc in the hospital. It started at six pm and lasted until about 3 in the morning. I was vomiting and had diarrhea (which was red) and was very dehydrated (from that time span I probably puked and had the poops about 15 times). Now two days later the vomiting and diarrhea have stopped but my urine seems to be orange. It does not hurt for me to go to the washroom, but I do have some discomfort in the area where my kidneys would be in my chest. Its not anything unbearable but I am getting quite worried. Any ideas of what it might be? If anyone has any idea of what this might be your help is greatly appreciated.

Your kidneys are not located in your chest area. They are located in in your abdomen. If you had symptoms of kidney discomfort, you would feel it in your lower back.

The discomfort in your chest is your stomach muscle from the contractions to vomit. They are merely sore. You will get over it.

The orange urine is a sign of dehydration. You need to go to the store and purchase "Naked Juice" as well as plain filtered water (About 8 to 10 glasses of water in a day).
When you begin eating again. Here are the dos and dont's from a violent flu recovery.
No fried foods, greasy fatty foods, dairy etc. or you may throw up again.
Yes to home made soups, like lentil, chicken, potato and leak, and the like.
Introduce raw salads about a couple of weeks later when you've built your enzymes and natural flora back into the gut.
I take a supplement before going to bed at night to prevent the flu and to keep my gut balanced. It has fatty acids, enzymes, natural fibers to gently remove any old feces along the walls of the intestines and keeps viruses from taking hold along the walls of my gut.
It is called Manna Cleanse.

I think you really need to replenish your electrolytes in your body. Drink some Gatorade
Your kidneys aren't in your chest. Go see your doctor again and be prepared to give a urine sample, you may have blood in your urine.
im no doctor, but it sounds like you should call him and ask. Its what he gets paid for. It sounds like somehting is going on.......And I agree you shoud drink a good amount of fluids (juice and water)...good luck ?!
Orange urine is from excess bilirubin in your urine; contributing factors are continued dehydration. You are still behind on your fluids - you need to dramatically increase them until your urine is clear yellow again. Because of your recent diarrhea, you are at risk for a urinary tract infection because of all of the loose stool possibly being spread in your peri-area when you wiped. Increased burning, frequency should take you to your doctor. Otherwise, increase your water intake and see if it resolves.
Drink a lot off water, and have a lot off kiwi fruit.
