Guest guest Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 >>>> What does an ammonia smell in the urine mean? > Thanks, If I remember right, Devin Houston said this can simply be more protein being processed with the start of enzymes (if you just started). The ammonia is a nitrogen containing derivative. But if you haven't just started enzymes, it might be something else. Are there any other symptoms along with this? .

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 It might come from bacteria and if you treat it it might make your child better. I would consult a DAN doctor.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 A couple of sports sites also listed ammonia smell in the urine or sweat as processing lots of protein (breaking down proteins quickly which leads to the ammonia smell). They suggested noticing if you are drinking enough water or not eating enough carbohydrates. Not balancing your diet with enough carbs leaves protein as the fuel source, the quick or excessive breakdown of which leads to the ammonia smell. Just a few other options to consider. You will need to note: - how long has this been happening - have you just started enzymes or not - what type of diet is the person consuming (carbs versus proteins) - what other symptoms or problems (bacteria, behavior, medicines/supplements, physical issues like sleeping regular or not, etc. .
