Just an aside about odours, Keto, and Carnitine.

http://www.mynchen.demon.co.uk/Ketog.../Carnitine.htm
Quote:
Dosage with carnitine may also cause a fishy breath odour. This is caused by excess growth of intestinal flora promoted by carnitine in the gut. The odour may be reduced by increasing the bedtime dose and by spreading the other carnitine doses more regularly through the day.

Quote:
Plasma carnitine levels are decreased in many people with epilepsy. This carnitine deficiency may result from nutritional factors, underlying metabolic disorders, or the effects of drugs and diseases, alone or in combination. Plasma levels are usually lowest in people taking a combination of valproate with other anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) such as phenobarbital, phenytoin or carbamazepine (valproate polypharmacy), though taking valproate alone or other AEDs alone may sometimes cause a deficiency. Studies suggest that a young age and multiple disabilities may be risk factors for carnitine deficiency as well.

I knew i seen this post somewhere. Megan's skin will smell like syrup my mom says, I say it smells like a sweet smell also. We will sit and smell her cheeks and face area at times to try and pin point the smell. We often wonder what it is? Urine, Megs used to smell like bacon. Pretty funky.

Exclamation sweet smell urine, don't like milk, yellow skin observed etc

Hello, really concerened abot my sis in law baby who i am taking care for 2 days now bcause she was admitted to hospital, anyway, i realised that he has a swet smelling nappy, which under carefull examination has a thin brown lining around the concentration of urine. apart from this, he does not really drink milk, altho likes water, had no bowel movement in 2 days, doesnt appear onstipated, has mild eczema, and someone thought that his skin is a bit yellow (him being an asian boy) but eyes are not yellow, altho has grey streaks on both eyes. he has always been a 'difficult infant', refusing to drink milk, and has sleeping problems. i am worried, and by reading some of the posts, it really could be sth wrong inside. please help with suggestions

shai.
