My son has the same problem and we follow yasko' protocol. My son's doctor said in addtion to yucca he is to use cck before meals. In additon you can buy ammonia support RNA for yasko's website www.holisticheal.com I can tell you I ran low on founds this last 2 months so I haven't been using the above mentioned supplements and all of a suddent my son is becoming more distracted, stimmy, and hyper. We just finished a NAET session and the muscle tested him and said ammonia, uric acid are very out of balance with the central nervous system. We are avoiding protein for the next 25 hours per NAET protocol and I will charging up those credit cards to buy some much needed supplemental support. Good Luck. It's so funny how our kids seem to go through things in waves and sort of all do it at the same time. One week everyone mentioned seeds in the stool and my son was going through it at the same time.texjur2000

E-mail: jslavinumn (DOT) eduABSTRACT TOPABSTRACTINTRODUCTIONMETHODSBIOLOGICAL SAMPLE COLLECTIONRESULTSDISCUSSIONREFERENCESObjectives: Arabinogalactan (AG) is a non-digestible soluble dietary fiber that resists hydrolytic enzyme action and enters the large bowel intact where it is fermented by resident microflora. To determine whether AG has similar physiological properties to other soluble dietary fibers, we examined the effect of 15 and 30 g per day of a commercially available AG from Western Larch on several gastrointestinal and blood parameters. Methods: Gastrointestinal parameters included fecal microflora, fecal enzyme activity, fecal short-chain fatty acids, fecal pH, fecal weight, transit time and bowel frequency. Blood parameters included total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, Apo-A1, Apo-B, glucose and

insulin. The study consisted of two three-week diet treatments with no washout period. Participants (n=20, 11 males, 9 females) consumed their usual diet in addition to 15 or 30 g AG in a beverage sweetened with aspartame as compared to their usual diet with the control beverage. Results: Significant increases in total fecal anaerobes were observed with 15 g (p=0.01) and 30 g AG (p=0.001). A significant increase (p=0.02) in Lactobacillus spp. was observed when subjects consumed AG for a total of six weeks regardless of dose. There were no significant changes in other microflora, fecal enzyme activity, transit time, frequency, fecal weight, fecal pH and short-chain fatty acids. Fecal ammonia levels decreased with 15 g (p=0.001) and 30 g (p=0.002) AG. No significant changes in blood lipids or blood insulin were observed.

Hi all,

Please, excuse my ignorance, but HOW do you know your child has a high ammonia?
