A member asked:

What could be the cause of ammonium smelling urine? and mucus in bowel movements? could the two symptoms be connected to the same cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bacteria: not lkely connected, the ammonia smell is from bacteria in the urine, This is abnormal and should be treated, the stool problem is not likely related unless there is a connection between the bladder and bowel
