Tjake13,

I haven't always had food allergies. I took a Depo Provera shot 10 or more years ago and started getting symptoms right away. The food allergy symptoms were not odor at first...It was severe gas. I dealt with that by changing my diet and taking acidophilus. I kept doing more things to get rid of the gas--liver flushes and colonics, but the odor turned into body odor. It started under my arms as a bad rancid smell and then I started to smell all over. After the rancid smell, it turned into fecal body odor and if that wasn't bad enough, I started smelling like garbage on other days--or both garbage and fecal odor at the same time.

When did I start getting sick? I think I took the Depo Provera shot when I was 22 and I am now 33. So that is 1995. For YEARS I visited doctors and did all kinds of tests, which turned up nothing. I didn't know why it was happening or that I could do anything about it without a doctor giving me a diagnosis first.

My gas and canker sores got so bad that I couldn't stand it any longer. I tried everything except dieting, so that's what I did. I started by cutting out gluten and wheat. After that I was better for a while, until I could no longer have meat, then dairy, then cook foods at all. Then finally there wasn't a thing in the world that could keep me from stinking. My skin became oily and full of acne all over my face and down my back. I also lost a lot of elasticity in my skin and my hair began falling out in gobs.

I am normally not a vegan, but due to my health problems, I was forced to become vegan. Every once in a while I test out all kinds of different foods to see how my body reacts. Meat is one of the things I try. Although I am strongly considering at this point to stay away from meat for good. I do plan to eventually eat dairy and eggs again.

Since you mention stress. I used to be really shy and would get really nervous around people. I am still somewhat like that but not nearly as much now. It is only when I get really nervous that I start sweating a lot and smelling. Summer is also coming and I'm in California, so I'm sweatng more now and that is creating a problem. But I'm going to keep up with the urine therapy and stay away from the bad foods and hopefully I will see the end of my bad health by the end of this year.

Lovey
