Have you noticed redness or swelling of your hands after wearing the gloves? Did you have a significant exposure (spill) in the past?

Even if I wash it off right away the next day it continues to get worst for up to 24-48 hours then after my skin starts to look like plastic and peals off like dead skin and the skin under is raw and forming scabs. I am sure it is the water which has chlorine in it. I have stopped exposure and it is going away finally. Gets worst for 24 hours after and lasts 5-7 days after exposure each time.
Everyone else is fine, no one even knows why I had such a sensitive reaction.

Second, there is the possibility of lacking bile salts, either not enough being absorbed into the digesting food or not enough exposure to it. This can be caused by issues within the gallbladder (stones or polyps), or can be an IBS, short bowel syndrome, or diarrhea issue.
Anyone have elevated ammonia levels? Are you having any symptoms and at what level did your symptoms start? I just had my first ammonia screening done and the level came back 119, with less than 47 being the reference range. I'm not having any symptoms. This seems to be the story of my life. All of my labs are going whacky and I'm still feeling fine. I'm afraid one of these days it's all going to hit and I'll be a mess.
Yes, it is safe to take Advanced Maalox while pregnant. Aluminum hydroxide magnesium hydroxide; simethicone is classified in FDA pregnancy risk category C. When used occasionally at recommended doses not exceeding package labeling, aluminum and magnesium containing antacids have not been found to produce teratogenic effects and are generally considered safe for use during pregnancy.
Mellie has been taking Aluminum Hydroxide (10 ml) with food each meal, but today she had violent diarrhea and vomited last night's steak. She doesn't have long - I finally coaxed her to eat some boiled chicken and drink at 10 pm - but I am afraid to give any of these meds - she feels so bad. I gave her Cerenia. No more vomitting/diarrhea today, but there nothing inside her...
My doctor told me yes at my last visit when I asked, just ammonia free and a well ventilated area...
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?
We discovered that my husband had an episode of Encephalopathy, which is high ammonia in the blood.
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.
I recently found out I had high ammonia, it was 66, I am taking lactalose and it is is now normal. All my blood work is within normal ranges on my liver function test and I also had a sonogram, have a mild fatty liver. Was wondering what could have caused this. I do drink a few beers a night.
Patients with liver disease are unable to process or detoxify ammonia so that ammonia levels can reach dangerously high levels. This is coupled by increased ammonia production of colonic bacteria, especially if one is constipated or has an irregular bowel movement. High protein intake can also lead to an incresed ammonia production. I suggest you talk about these possibilities with your doctors.
If nothing else, the problem we have with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities alone would fall in this area. Ammonia and other cleaners can certainly cause health issues to those who are sensitive or work with these substances on a daily basis. A good idea would be to protect the skin and dawn a mask when using any type of chemical.
I would stay away from liquid antacids such a Maalox, Mylanta, Gelucil, etc. as they contain aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, and simethicone and may affect absorption.
