i have only had one doctor test for ammonia levels, which i understand if high can do significant damage.

are you being tested for ammonia? apparently a lot of docs don't and should.

i was told it's important because as you treat the dying ketes give off ammonia and you need to detox a lot. if too high, you'll have to stop treatment until they go back down.

anybody heard about this?

I don't have an answer but am curious as to the the symptoms of high ammonia?

I was wondering lately about dying ketes and acidosis. TG
