Common Questions and Answers about Ammonia toxicity fish randall

ammonia

Avatar f tn Since i am mostly vegetarian, and only break this rule with fish a few times a month, i was careful to note that the ammonia smell only occurred after eating fish. My physician tested me and found that i definitely had an ammonia buildup and i should stop eating animal protein. Once i dropped eating fish the problem went away. My physician told me that the ammonia buildup can lead to encephalopathy - brain fog - that can be very damaging, so i'm sticking to a vegetarian diet.
Avatar f tn 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?
1008841 tn?1293598960 In terms of diet, I believe you should be avoiding as much salt as possible, and at least for the short term, reduce animal proteins to avoid complications of ammonia toxicity. Try to limit your protein intake to things like legumes and soy products; they are less likely to metabolize into ammonia in your gut. Protein is an important component of your diet though; be sure to confirm any info you gather here with your doctor.
Avatar m tn Aim playing racket ball three times a week for well 2-3 hours. I notice this ammonia smell with my sweat.Now I always sweat heavy when I work out. But this ammonia smell new. Other than this smell aim fine losing some weight.
Avatar n tn According to what you posted, he was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome - which is a genetic disorder. There is no cure. From the symptoms you describe, that seems to fit. Other than physical therapy and other care that is similar, I don't really have any other ideas.
Avatar f tn He advised me to stay away from any fat-food. He warned me not to eat any sort of meat and fish(except smoked fish). The only thing that am worry is stopping meat/fish in my meal. Pls is d doctor right by telling me not to eat fish/meat?
Avatar m tn s too high a dose, and why are you choosing B6 in high doses for cholesterol? Fish oil will raise your HDL immediately as it is HDL (or flax oil or hemp seed oil). B6 toxicity is nothing to fool around with, and remember, B6 is in balance with B12 and folic acid, so long-term use of just one of these will throw the others out of balance. I'd find another treatment plan.
Avatar f tn Many of us may also suffer from excess iron and one might consider limiting red meat consumption and replacing it instead with either poultry, fish or vegetable based protein sources. All things in moderation (with the possible exception of alcohol) for the most part until advanced staging may cause some dietary modification in one's diet. At least, that is what I think I've understood.

Avatar m tn s important to stay away from red meat -- vegetable proteins and fish are the best sources of protein to help control ammonia. My husband has replaced much of his red-meat consumption with peanut butter, sardines, beans, and such. He personally abhors tofu, so for him, it's lots of nuts (almonds, cashews, etc.) and occasional cheese or eggs or ice cream as a treat. When he suffers from poor appetite his hep doc encourages protein drinks to ensure adequate protein intake. Hope that helps.
Avatar m tn I have 57 ammonia level in July and in August 97 ammonia level. Took Lactulose and two weeks later had 101 and added the antibiotic effixir (sp) just last week. Will this be chronis? Is there hope to get it down and keep it down? The test showed a slightly enlarged liver. Could this be caused from spreading fertilizer, coloring my hair and spraying poision? I cut out the protein except for fish, eggs and a few other things. Driking lots more water to flush my system. Any other suggestions.
Avatar f tn But apparently not lol. Im suddenly wanting to change the baby's first name from Logan to Randall - after my other Uncle in MI. He's already being named after two of my uncles and sister (Andrew James is the middle name) and Im getting my tubes tied after this little guy. So I cant help but think of my third Uncle now... we rarely get to see him but he keeps in contact and is my #2 supporter for going into Culinary Arts school (#1 being my hubby lol).
Avatar f tn Thanks Randall for replying to my post. I appreciate your efforts to help people to get out of their apprehensions. But there is still one thing I am confused about. It said everywhere over the internet and on the books that body fluids are infected with hiv or hsv when a person is infected. As far as i know body fluids includes vaginal fluids and sperms. It confuses me with your explaination. I would be glad if you and DR HHH/EWH can comment on it in respect to my situation.
Avatar m tn Below is a link that explains hepatic encephalopathy http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.
Avatar m tn The premise of most pathophysiologic theories involves the accumulation of ammonia in the central nervous system, producing alterations of neurotransmission that affect consciousness and behavior. These ammonia toxicity theories have been supported by studies demonstrating increased ammonia levels in patients with both fulminant hepatic failure and chronic liver disease.
Avatar n tn Hi Randall, thank you so much for your quick response. I dont mean to freak out but what if there was hiv in the porous skin of the fleshlight and the dettol/water could not get to the virus( it is cyber skin so its porous). I read this link porous surface can provide airtight places where the hiv can survive. Can i ask does this change your assessment that there is no risk even if someone else had used it before and there is hiv in the air tight porous surface of the fleshlight?
1183618 tn?1277365106 Vitamin D is available through our foods - Fortified milk, breakfast cereals, egg yolks, fatty fish, and fish oils. Sit at a window with the sun shining in for about 1/2 hour (few times a week) and that will help you get enough Vitamin D. Suggest you stop taking the vitamin D supplements, restrict your intake of calcium, and see your MD.
317787 tn?1473358451 or is it only the lactulose that removes the ammonia? I appreciate any advice. I see the doctor on May 1st and will also talk to him.
