Ammonia killing bacteria
Common Questions and Answers about Ammonia killing bacteria
ammonia
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. Laxatives and a syrup called lactulose can aid bowel movement and decrease the amount of ammonia producing bacteria in the bowel.

Hello I am 25 years old and I recent had my first pap smear and was told I had BV, bacteria vaginosis. I was put on Metronidozole Vaginal gel, 0.75% for 5 days. My pap smear test results all came back negative, no STD no abnormal pap smear. But It's been a week since I finished the use of the metronidozole gel and I have notice an increase amount of discharge that is not normal for me.
After being told that there was nothing wrong with me for three years a geneticist discovered that my ammonia levels (reference range is 12-47 umol/L) were double and triple what they should have been after eating. I should also note that during that time I was having Ensure meal replacements as I thought this was a healthier option. After cutting down on protein, taking lactulose (30ml/3x/day) and starting Rifaximin (600mg/2x/day for the encephalopathy) my symptoms quickly started to improve.
Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
The smell of ammonia in the urine comes from "urea". Bacteria that contaminate the urine will convert chemicals in the urine into smelling chemicals that are responsible for the distinctive smell, such as ammonia. You can give his urine sample for testing. With a kidney stone chances of infection are high.
Some foods like proteins cause the excretion of nitrogen compounds (ammonia and urea). Hence these foods can be reduced in diet.
I disagree, a common cause amonia body odor is a skin infection. An ammonia odor is often caused by infection with Helicobacter, this bacteria causes stomach ulcers, or it can be caused by eating too much protein. Ask your doctor to draw a blood test for helicobacter. Ifthe results are positive, then it can be cured with antibiotics. If it is negative, you will need to eat less fish, meat, chicken and dairy products.
I have searched online for this topic and have not found anything that pertains to it. My husband's semen smells so strong like ammonia, that I can smell it when he has an erection, fully clothed, when I am two feet away. It has been like this since we first started dating. He is only 24 years old. His semen also has chunks in it. Is this normal? He had a vasectomy so that we wouldn't have to worry about getting pregnant.
Hello: Occassionally when having a bowel movement, I notice a very strong odor of ammonia. It reminds me of the odor at the camp outhouses. I haven't been able to figure any similarities between instances (recent eating habits, activities, etc.). We eat a round diet of meat, veggies and fruits. My bowel movements for the most part are good in regularity and consistency. The only medical condition I've had lately was with high blood pressure.
My computer is acting up! lol! Plus something else came up.
Let's start over.
It's a delicate situation.
When protein (mainly animal protein from diet) is broken down in the body by intestinal bacteria, in the process, there's ammonia produced, that his liver does not process, thus getting into the blood circulation and causing all sorts of complications.
One of them is ammonia toxicity in the brain.
Anti inflammatory medicine is a kind of medicine that can kill bacteria. It can not only kill harmful bacteria, but also kill bacteria that are beneficial to human body. Therefore, taking anti-inflammatory drugs to treat diseases is not the best way to reduce the body odor of patients, so any anti-inflammatory drugs can not be taken for a long time! If we eat it for a long time, it will destroy the balance of intestinal bacteria and aggravate our body odor disease.
she has continued to take the Lactolose for the past two weeks but today her ammonia level is 150. I would like to find out how high ammonia level can go before it is considered toxic and will cause her to go into a coma? I am also wondering in end stage cirrhosis will the lactolose eventually be uneffective in bringing down the ammonia levels? My final question is what kind of life expectancy is there when the cirrohsis remains at that level?
In the context of advanced liver disease, elevated serum ammonia is often a product of protein metabolism, or the lack of it. Protein, and particularly meat protein produces ammonia in the colon; and while a healthy liver can manage this, a cirrhotic liver is often incapable of removing it.
This results in ‘brain fog’, or hepatic encephalopathy. It can often be effectively managed with the drug ‘Lactulose’; a laxative that encourages frequent bowel movements.
After I shower I always use a freshly washed towel (which smells fine). I use soap and shampoo, rinse it off, then dry my hair and body. While I am drying my hair and body, I can smell an ammonia/urine smell on the towel. Why is this. Is it something to do with the kidneys?
Hes soiledsystem, if you indeed had high ammonia in your blood, it could sort of add up to my urea theory, in a sense that by some bacteria and fungi urea gets converted to ammonia and carbomate, by an enzyme called Urease. And most people should not have high Ammonia, as it should be converted back to Urea by an enzyme called "carbamoyl phosphate synthase" to be excreted. But what if a pathogenic organism that is causing our symptoms is also feeding on ammonia?
An ammonia test measures the amount of ammonia in the blood. Most ammonia in the body forms when protein is broken down by bacteria in the intestines. The liver normally converts ammonia into urea, which is then eliminated in urine.
Ammonia levels in the blood rise when the liver is not able to convert ammonia to urea. This may be caused by cirrhosis or severe hepatitis.
Since you are on this forum I assume you have hep c?
Are you experiencing the effects of toxic buildup in your blood?
* The conversion of Lactulose to lactic acid by fermentation by colonic bacteria results in acidification of the gut which in turn appears to promote movement of ammonia from the blood stream into the colon.
* Gut acidification may also inhibit bacteria that produce ammonia and lead to an increase in lactobacilli, which produce less ammonia.
Hang in there. There are now effective hepatitis C treatments for those with cirrhosis.
Anyway, he said it appeared to be bacteria and said to use Hibiclens and gave me Rx for Gentamicin Sulfate ointment and Clndamycin Phosphate. He told me to put the Gentamicin inside my nose every day. Well, insert said "do not use inside of nose". I called his office and then was told to just use antibiotic cream, i.e. neosporin. I was skeptical then to use anything inside my nose.
