Guest guest Posted September 18, 2001 Report Share Posted September 18, 2001 Yes, our son's ammonia levels are elevated. The number wasn't grossly high, it was 43. We were prescribed a product known as Ammonia Buster to reduce the ammonia levels. It is made by a pharmacy in North Carolina. The phone number is . It is the smelliest product we have ever bought in our lives. Rotten eggs smelly! However, our son's body does not appear to emit any odors as a result. He has not experienced any nausea, gas, belly aches. He will be tested again after he has finished the medicine, and probably on a periodic basis indefinitely until we see that the ammonia levels are stable. Perhaps there are other products that can serve this purpose but I don't know what they are. Your physician might want to make the call to find out more about this product. It is not understood why the ammonia levels are high, other than to assume that liver function is not optimum. It would appear that the autism disorder truly does affect the digestive system to a very large degree, in addition to the nervous and immune systems. Good luck, Felicia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2001 Report Share Posted September 18, 2001 It does generally have to do with liver function. Many people I have had contact with who are on seizure meds have this lab work done because some meds effect the liver.They can give somthing to clear the ammonia out rather quickly-but I cant remember the drugs name right now.f OT-Anyone have a child with high blood ammonia? > > My son has high blood ammonia - something we are investigating now- and I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem and what you have done about it and if you have seen positive results? > > Thanks, > > > > > > --------------------------------- > Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help? > Donate cash, emergency relief information inYahoo!
