The smell is AWFUL!! Can be yeast or bacteria. Can be a digestion issue, improper digestion of certain foods, for example excess ammonia from protein digestion issues, things like that.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Well actually it is mine not my son's and my complexion is the same as it normally is. I am a very pale skinned blonde. I am sure my diet is poor and I am currently taking NO supplements while trying to figure out what to take. I stopped taking supplements quite a long time ago. I am thinking of trying perfect food. I am open to any suggestions. What causes high amonia levels? Thanks > Possibly a sign of high ammonai levels.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 ONE-get a urine test to check for bladder infection, while you are there you might as well get a CBC and CHEM panel. I am not sure what a naturalopath would test but that is what a plain old MD would use. Naturopaths would use more testing perhaps. TWO-If it is abnormal get treated with antibiotics, drink cranberry juice with no sugar in it, treat yest while on antibiotics too THREE-if there is blood or protein, get a 24 hour urine creatine, check thos kidneys of yours-kidney disease can cause a foul smell (mine does) I have IgA nepropathy (an autoimmune disease of the kidneys) that most likely was triggered by a streptococal glomerulonephritis (strep infection of the throat that eventually affected my kidneys) Four-are you eating asparagus or some other veggie/food that can cause a funny smell? Five-drink lots of water Carolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 >What causes high amonnia levels? > > Thanks > -- Stomach bacteria and poor breakdown of proteins. But it may not be ammonia. You tend to get a blotchy complexion if levels are really high. If you want to put it to the test, order some alpha-ketoglutaric acid from Kirkman. But it may be best to try drinking more good quality water and checking out your vitamins and minerals first Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 To reinforce what others have said - definitely get a Dr to have his urine checked for infection. Whatever else may be causing the smell, any infection must be treated without delay. The Dr will probably want to check for reflux (ureters - tubes from kidneys to bladder filling with urine), which can be a factor in getting infected. Tony.

Typical symptoms of yeast/bacteria are indicated here http://www.danasview.net/yeast.htm For me, yeast causes migraine headaches and exhaustion. For the digestion issues, you can consider trying enzymes, or testing, or something similar. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 ----- How strange that you just said something about the ammonia smell! Toward the end of my pregnancy, and after the birth, (might be TMI here), my urine, sweat, and the lochia smelled as if I was literally a walking bottle of ammonia; it was REALLY strong. I could not get an answer from my doctor, the internet, anywhere! I even looked on a few veterinary websites, because my cat at one time had horrible ammonia smelling urine like this as well. Can you fill me in, reference to more specifics on the protein digestion issues relating to the ammonia smell?--------------------------------------- Thanks! ~Christy >>> Can be a digestion issue, improper digestion of certain foods, for example excess ammonia from protein digestion issues, things like that.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Combustion of bad gut bacteria produces ammonia. Important to resolve this as it affects brain chemistry.
