Over-dilution, retest question
My wife had to take a pre-employment screening the other day, and it came back diluted. We followed the dilution directions on this site, with 4000mg/day of creatine for a couple of days before, then aspirin, b-complex, and plenty of water the day of the test, per the instructions. She's on the heavy side (5'3" and 180), so I told her to drink more water than the directions, by a factor of about 1.5.
After the test, she reported strong auditory disturbances and tingling of the extremities - about a +3 on the Shulgin scale - so I'm pretty sure she had water intoxication. She'd been freaking out about the test and drinking too way much water for a few days, so that may have been a contributing factor. I got her some Pedialyte and she was okay within an hour or so.
She has to go in tomorrow for a retest. Here are our options as I see it:
1.) Substitute with my urine, as I haven't smoked since mid-February (I like to clean out every once in a while, for personal reasons). This seems like the best option to me, but she's squeamish about carrying around pee in a bottle, and is concerned that they'll watch her since it's a re-test.
2.) Dilute again with less water. Due to her high BMI, we're not sure how much water she should drink in order to pass.
3.) Use a commercial product like ProTox. To be honest, I'm a little concerned about the efficacy of any commercial product, as they all seem a little shady, and the consumer has little to no recourse if it doesn't work.
There are some really knowledgeable folks on here, so I'd really appreciate any guidance you could give.
Thanks!
P.S. Before somebody says it, no, she's not going to drink Certo. Thanks anyway.imp:

Over-dilution, retest question
I'd keep it the dillution at about 30 ounces tomorrow, preferably gatorade.
How often did she smoke?
You can use your urine as long as you don't take any prescriptions.

She's been a daily smoker (once a day, not all day long), up until a week ago.

Over-dilution, retest question
If I am reading you correctly, she only took 4000 mg of creatine, that's only 4 grams. It's been a long time since I loaded (I sub exclusively now) creatine monohydrate that I had bought from GNC, but if I remember correctly it was 5 grams per serving and I could easily tolerate 5 servings a day for 3 days before the test. That's 25,000 mg a day x 3 days. She drank too much and loaded too little creatine.
I'd sub.

Yes for a heavy user subbing is the only alternative.

Over-dilution, retest question
Yeah, we went with the QuickFix 5.7, because while I've been clean for over 6 weeks, I'm usually a heavy smoker and have been jogging a lot lately, so I'm concerned I might still test positive.
Overnight shipping is fucking expensive, so I really hope it works. I'm amazed it doesn't smell like pee, though. I'll post up the results as soon as we have them; It's annoying to see all these people asking questions but not bothering to let everybody know how it went.

I've passed 15 times with QF so as long as the temp is right you'll be good.
Start shopping around locally for QF. My local smoke shop has it for $18
