A member asked:
Could a glutamate metabolism disorder either directly or indirectly cause my stool to constantly have strong ammonia smell for last few years?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes : A deficiency in the enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase (which converts ammonia to glutamate ) will result in accumulation of ammonia in the body and its excretion in the stool

More likely GI flora: You are in distress and high gad65 ab can cause brain effects. Environmental influences possible. Avoid tobacco, alcohol, processed foods, dairy, grains except quinoa, and sugar.Eat plenty of fresh vegetables and some wild caught fish. Check 25-oh vit d. Eat 6 equal meals a day followed by relaxation breathing for 5 minutes , and mild exercise for 10-15 minutes. Read kelly mcgonigal.
