Re: strong ammonia smell in stool

might be? what can be done for it? Thanks so much for all responses.

One cause is bacteria - we went through this. But another reason is

just improper metabolization of ammonia in the system. I am giving my

son and husband No-Fenol and this is helping. My husband runs and his

sweaty clothes would reak of ammonia - he doesn't smell, just the

sweaty clothes. He has been taking 2 No-Fenol a day for a week and

the smell cut by about half. Then he went on a trip for a week and

did not take enzymes. Yes, the running clothes smelled again when he

got back. Then he started the No-Fenol again and the smell dropped

off. So I am convinced that at least in some cases, the No-Fenol

helps the ammonia (this is standard what the No-Fenol enzymes are

used for in animal science). Husband and Younger Son both have IBS

which has a bacterial/yeast aspect to it.

Alpha-something-or-other is also supposed to help with ammonia, but

it seems more iffy. Also, cutting back on meats/proteins or adding a

protease enzyme could help.
