24 Hour Urine Test?

I have an upcoming 24 hour urine test next week. I know the dietary restrictions, but am wondering about one specific ingredient. I am to avoid any citrus juice, pop, etc. Some foods contain citric acid-is this the same as avoiding citrus juice?

A 24-hour urine collection should be what you normally do. It should be an accurate accounting of your metabolic state. Do not change anything that you normally do for this test.
