really good answer bill.  i had that problem, actualy my ammonia levels got so high last year as to through me into a coma.  i had no idea because it comes on gradualy and your ability to identify the problem lessens as the level of ammonia rises.  i just happen to be lucky and somone found me very quickly.  after my return, i was brought to tears because i couldn't finish the daily crossword .  llakey keep an eye out for little signs.  also be aware of potassium, to much can be toxic.  i only know this by living it.  you must be your best advocate when it comes to your or partners health.  cece

I’m sorry to hear of your husband’s troubles. Is he currently taking Lactulose or anything to manage ammonia production? The Lactulose will be the sticky-sweet liquid that gives him the runs? He may need to have that adjusted, or possibly have another drug added to that regimen.
