I do think pwME have issues with too much ammonia. Do you know a way to reduce this in the brain?I see ammonia can cause the uncomfortable symptoms in the brain.

There are a lot of posts here about ways to try to deal with it, mostly what to take to help clear it out.I do think pwME have issues with too much ammonia. Do you know a way to reduce this in the brain?
This is interesting, this study contains a list of foods that help with processing aldehydes and alcohol.
Influence of food commodities on hangover based on alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase activities
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7473379/
Tomatoes, cucumber, sweet lime, pear, coconut water, orange, starfruit, green and black tea, and cheese!
Studies showed no correlation between ADH and ALDH enzyme activities and antioxidant property of the selected food commodities for anti-hangover effect. Further, an anti-hangover (AHO) product was developed using pear (65%), sweet lime (25%) and coconut water (10%) and, validated for in vitro ADH and ALDH enzyme activities. AHO product was found to enhance ADH and ALDH activities by 23.31% and 70.02%, respectively.Seems to be due the polyphenol and mineral content of them, wonder if I had an issue with this which may be why having propolis every morning helps me so much. Wish we could specifically what those components doing this are though because I'm sure the list of helpful foods is much bigger than what we have presented here.
Maybe this is why propolis helps, as the acetylaldehyde is produced by candida.Seems to be due the polyphenol and mineral content of them, wonder if I had an issue with this which may be why having propolis every morning helps me so much.

An in vitro study with 77 bacterial strains of the Candida genus showed that propolis inhibited the formation of cellular phospholipase, hyphae and germ tubes, important factors for virulence (D'Auria et al., 2003).
thats is not necessarily a sign of candida.....I know I have candida as I do have the white on my tongue
thats is not necessarily a sign of candida.....
in fact it mostly not a sign of candida.
Yeah, don't stop taking it, as the acetaldehyde comes from the candida, so dealing with the candida is the most important thing.I know I have candida as I do have the white on my tongue, not sure if that's reduced at all since I started it though since I haven't been paying attention to it. Though I hope it's actually being killed or at least reduced in my body, afraid to stop taking it and regressing. I don't really have a reason to cut it out though, it's actually the cheapest supplement I'm taking right now.
Rufous doesn't "believe in" candida.Ah I thought it was typically. what does it typically indicate then?
I’m experiencing a new symptom and I’m curious if anyone else experiences this and if you’ve found anything that helps.
...It feels as if the brain isn’t protected like normal and is exposed to the world.
It feels like my brain is just raw and doesn't have any protection so nerve signals, neurotransmitters, hormones, and other bodily chemicals just go all over the place where they shouldn't and cause chaos.
I wish I could figure out something to improve the brain fog PEM crash poisoned neuroinflammation feeling. I think I Google it every single day, thinking I'll find something different. Asking AI about obscure approaches
Ah I thought it was typically. what does it typically indicate then?
There's no real consensus on what is or isn't candida.
Yes, I've got that now... In my case I think it's from insufficient sleep, cannabis and stimulation (exercise).The best way I can describe it is a headache/migraine but without the actual pain. You know the feeling when you have a headache and loud music is playing? Like your brain is just really sensitive and can’t tolerate the stimulus and it is physically very uncomfortable? Not in terms of PEM but in terms of an immediate uncomfortable sensation in the brain. It feels like that all the time even without music. It feels as if the brain isn’t protected like normal and is exposed to the world. I have called it dizziness or lightheadedness because it sort of feels like that, but I’m not actually dizzy or lightheaded. It comes and goes in severity but is pretty destructive to my ability to think/process/perform mental tasks when it is severe.
