I have had bad breath/gassy stomach since 1999. It has been constant since then, never changed. In 2007 I was diagnosed with Morphea which apparently is some form of auto-immune disease. In 2008, I started to smell from my armpits, but it wasn't regular sweat smell, it was more like cat pee. It went from cat pee to more of a regular armpit smell around late 2009. It didn't matter how often I showered (3-5 times a day) or what deodorant I used - I would always smell at least a little from my armpits. The strang thing is that I have always been able to smell myself, which many other people seem unable to. I have been been checked for diabetes, but all tests have been negative so far.
Since 1999, I have also suffered extremely much of headache due to tendon tensions in my back and arms, and now when I think of it, the tensions have always occured in conjunction with eating some wrong food (carb food) or when my stomach has been particularly bad. I am fairly confident that the tensions are connected to my bad stomach in some way.
Now to my wondering. I have tried almost everything under the sun over the years, to no avail, but around April this year I started to take liquid Silicea gel for the stomach and intestines (Silicol sometimes depending on what different stores had available, but it's the same I guess). I stopped taking it around late June I believe, and around that time, the tensions in my back and arms were completely gone! Something (probably the Silicea/Silicol) made the tensions go away and it was a great relief for me. However, it did nothing for my bad breath/sweats.
However, for the past couple of weeks now, things have suddenly really started to change for me, and that's pretty long after I stopped using Silicea/Silicol. My breath has gone from smelling of pure poo to smell of pure sulphur (like fire crackers or maybe burnt popcorns or something). An interesting thing is that my stomach has gasses and poo have also gone from poo smell to pure sulphur smell, so I can really sense the connection. BUT it appears as the other smelly aspects of me have disappeared or very drastically reduced, like the hands (hand sweat that previously smelled bad, from only my left hand though) and the armpits. I seem to get bad breath alot quicker now after brushing my teeth than before (almost instantaneously) and the smell seems more intense, but on the other hand, it doesn't smell of pure poo anymore which *could* be positive in some sense, I guess...
What has happened to me? I get so confused because I can't really tell if things have gotten better or worse. I don't feel any bad taste in my mouth anymore, which I always did before, but I distinctly feel throught the nose the pure sulphur smell if I just breathe out a little with my mouth. I have been eating quite heathly for long periods, but not so much during the summer, unfortunately. Things have definitely changed for me, which it hasn't for over 10 years.
I've also had (and still has) acid reflux and post-nasal-drip during all these years, but I really don't think that post nasal drip affects my breath nearly as much as my stomach does.
So, has anyone tried Silicea/Silicol for these type of problems and know of any side effects? How were the results?
Has anyone had this transition from pure poo breath to pure sulphur breath? Is it a good or bad sign, you think?
What can you seasoned ladies and gentlemen possibly make of this?
Grateful for any input! Sorry for my English.
