It contains a ton of aminoacids that upon digestion will increase ammonia if you are inside that vicious circle.
Freddd warns against whey I think because it can raise glutathione too quickly, depleting MB12/folate.
Since you have so many +/+CBS, this can make ammonia worse and I think you would benefit from reading this thread:

I can try to list for you what helped me when I was in the ammonia hole last year:
- I stopped all supplements and took only magnesium oxide to bowel tolerance for 5-6 weeks
- sodium bicarbonate baths - I read that candida likes alkaline and viruses like acidic environments, since EBV seems to be an issue, the baths could be beneficial for you. Always start low and build up tolerance. I would say to start with 1/2 or 1 Tbsp for foot bath and 2 Tbsp for a bath. Also using bicarb as a shower scrub is a way of getting used to it.
- Saccharomyces boulardii once capsule before bed every other day for a few days and then alternate it with a probiotic that works for you. Avoid Lactobacillus acidophilus since they increase acidity too much.
Mb12 and folate will increase acidity because from MB12 there will be more ammonia generation and from folate more uric acid. The kidneys will need extra buffering electrolytes like magnesium and sodium bicarb.
@ebethc what are your uric acid levels?
thanks for the info!
I believe that I am EXTREMELY low in glutathione... I get sick ALL the time, and the duration & intensity of my colds/flus are worse that normal... I'm taking M.F. & MB12 now so the whey shouldn't cause problems there....
I will be sure to take electrolytes consistently (not doing that now..) & same w bicarb baths.... this should help w ammonia, from what i understand about your post.
S Boulardii makes me feel sick.. interesting about the L Acidopholus.... maybe I'll try it again.. "on paper" S Boulardii should be a big help for me
