598816 tn?1219542566 I found at Walgreens they sell some cleaner called Holy Cow. It's supposed to be organic and free of alcohol, ammonia, vinegar and VOC (whatever that is?) I am trying their glass cleaner and it works pretty well. I agree with mom888 about certain chemicals. I think in our family some of the fregrances aggravate some of us, either the smell, or causes headaches. Personally I'm not a fan of bleach.... I use it sometimes to sterilize pots, but the smell is strong...
Avatar f tn Oh and no VOC paints are an awesome choice for nursery. I know you can get Olympic at Lowes and there are other no or low VOC brands just not sure the names.
Avatar f tn s better for our health, and the environment. Low or no VOC paint is so much safer for pregnant women and those people with certain health conditions, like asthma. If you are unable to find such low VOC painted homes then some research on the web could help locate them for you. If you are decorating an as-yet-to-arrive baby's room, then using natural flooring and low VOC paints is well worth the effort.
Avatar f tn I used the one low on voc and one with no voc idk If I should sleep in their or not ?
Avatar f tn I use the one made by Olympic and live it. Its great for nursery as the VOC in regular paint can come off walls for years. Even when I'm not pregnant I use it since I'm prone to headaches and the fumes from regular paint get to me. The no VOC paint has almost no smell.
Avatar f tn very expensive, call whatever tx center you are looking into and ask how much they charge for an at home intervention i believe mine was around 700 for the man to drive to my home, and the facility was 30,000 if you do not have the resources for this, you can call voc rehab and sent up and appointment or look into an involuntary committment i wish my parents did not spend all that money on me, i used the day i left rehab, that time
287071 tn?1365192513 Thanks - I did some searching on line and found a line at Home Depot that is VOC free and called Freshaire - but their color selection was limited. There is a line at Sherwin Williams called Harmony that is VOC free that we found a color we like and went with that.
324372 tn?1222820202 Many sources say that latex paint is okay if you have a well ventilated room and wear gloves, long sleeves and pants and you are past the first trimester. Some other sites say not to paint at all if pregnant. Thoughts on this? I see pregnant girls painting all the time on those decorating shows. That "Devine Design" lady has bee pregnant before and I saw her painting a room once all round and waddling.
Avatar f tn Water based or latex is what they are referred as still contain small amounts of voc even if they say zero voc and it is not recommended for pregnant women to be exposed to the fumes it's just best to let ur partner do the painting
1370609 tn?1306380021 Im 20 weeks pregnant and would like to paint the nursery myself, can someone tell me which brand is safe for my baby and me? what type of paint should i buy? can you tell me which paint you guys have used for your baby's room while pregnant?
Avatar m tn m in dialogue with my doctor about having asthma and I use the Diskus quite seldom and only when needed. Me and my boyfriend assembled some IKEA wardrobes a couple of days ago in our bedroom and it caused a lot of spread of dust and sawdust in the room. I now have great problems with just being in the room and sleeping has been a horror the last couple of nights because I sleep badly with pain in the lungs and wake up feeling extremely short of breath and air.
Avatar m tn What can cause a ammonia smell in sweat and colon? and raw skin lines on each side of the scrotum between the inner thighs and pus bumps.
Avatar n tn I'm hoping to paint our dining room with low VOC paint just curious if anyone has done this during the 2 week wait between ovulation and menstrual period? There is the possibility that I'm pregnant but cannot confirm anything for 2 weeks.
Avatar m tn What can cause a ammonia smell in sweat and Colin? the girl had the same smell.
Avatar m tn My liver disease also caused my serum sodium level to drop off (a condition known as Hyponatremia) and a low sodium level can produce a dementia similar to high ammonia levels but is more difficult to treat (at least in my experience).
Avatar n tn the woman shouldnt be under any pressure or physical labor during her pregnancy so i recommend that she doesnt do much of the painting but does the same height painting would be fine, just no bending over or reaching heights by standing on a ladder or anything cause she could fall and hurt the baby, dont risk it
Avatar f tn I have undergone several tests as per my health checkup, and Physician has confirmed nothing seriously wrong, and advised me not to worry and continue to remain sober However, because of my minor symptoms and the ammonia level, and information on the web worries me for encephalopathy.Could you help me in: -If Encephalopathy is suspected, then also suspect is associated cirrhosis, and portal hypertension? But USG says No portal hypertension. -What could be the reason of high ammonia?
Avatar f tn There are paints that are perfectly safe for you and your baby, have a zero VOC and are non-carcinogenic. Here's an article that might help as you're doing your nursery. Have fun with it! http://www.saigenicoles.com/blog/baby-room-design-101-5-design-tips-for-creating-the-nursery-room-of-your-dreams.
1008841 tn?1293598960 that is to say, some patients who have hepatic encephalopathy (HE, or confusion due to liver dysfunction) do not have elevated ammonia levels, and sometimes ammonia levels can be elevated without apparent HE -- docs usually use the guidelines Hector provided above to diagnose HE as opposed to just declaring it based on ammonia levels.

Avatar n tn But by the time we had his blood checked his levels were right smack in the middle of the range. Doctor said he was fine. So my question is can this ammonia gone untreated continue to rise and lower on its own. Because he has days that he seems fine and then days when he is not with me completely. He does not eat much as his taste buds are totally out of wack. Most foods taste very salty.And of course he does sleep alot.
Avatar f tn I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I work in a paint department. I mix colors and clean up paint pretty much. Since I've worked there we have always used glass cleaner to clean the paint off the desk and our hands. I didnt know this until today but the cleaner we use has ammonia in it. I've been using it every day for a few months to get the paint off of my hands. Could it have hurt my baby?
Avatar f tn The first time they found the problem he lost 30 pounds and it went away well he has since gained that back and a little more and the fatty liver popped back up so now he has to go on a diet again although he does not drink the dr told him not to drink at all it could be very harmful because of the state his liver is in now.
Avatar f tn I copied and pasted this info from WebMD. IUn used "urine and ammonia" in the search field. Within the article was a subsection dealing with smell. Here it is. I hope it helps: Odor Changes Urine normally doesn't have a very strong smell. If you get a whiff of something particularly pungent, you could have an infection or urinary stones, which can create an ammonia-like odor. Diabetics might notice that their urine smells sweet, because of excess sugar.
Avatar m tn If you have decompensated cirrhosis, with elevated ammonia levels and hepatic encephalopathy I have see many patients say they have been prescribed Lactulose http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a682338.html But you definitely need to have this conversation with your liver specialist .
10327764 tn?1414610928 so as with everything you google you get too many answers... So opinions please: I got the Valspar NO voc paint- and can open a window and put a fan in it (despite the fact it's entirely too hot still lol)- but do you think it's safe to help paint? I'm not going to do the rolling but my husband doesn't have a steady hand to do the cut in work so I was going to help him with that...
