	Answer by Dr.Bhumika Aggarwal (doctor) on Thu 14, Aug 2008 11:41am: Hi, The symptom that you describe may be due to a condition called Ketonuria. There may be many causes for this including Diabetes Mellitus. Other causes may include: renal glycosuria, glycogen storage disease, starvation, fasting, and other metabolic or endocrinal disorders. Each of these is a distinct clinical entity and may need separate investigation to find out the true cause. You must reach out to your doctor and get a work up with urine analysis and complete physical done. Hope this helped you, let me know if you may have any other queries.
