Re: Fecal Body Odor and Hot Feeling

I did a lot of research on Lactose Intolerance just now and pretty much everything that I have read says that constipation is not characteristic of LI. It says loose, watery stools (diarrhea) are the more common symptom with that. I was able to find a study done on kids with chronic constipation though that showed that a milk allergy was responsible for their symptoms. I may have a milk allergy so it would probably be best for me to start eliminating milk products from my diet to see if the hot, burning feeling goes away. The difference with a milk allergy is that it is not an enzyme deficiency like LI is. It's just an allergic reaction to milk products. Either way it seems that cutting out dairy is the way to go for me. I am thinking of going to a naturopathic doctor to be tested for allergies and that way I can have them test me for the milk allergy. In the meantime, I will change my diet and not eat dairy. I think that may be the answer to the hot feeling but I am still unsure as to what is causing my fecal Body Odor . Maybe I should go get a series of colonics if dairy turns out to be the problem. It could just be the fecal matter from the constipation all these years sitting inside of me that is giving off the smell. Anyway, I guess I'll make my appointment, change my diet, and see what happens. Thanks so much mpdela.

PS I think I remember a post with you talking about your son having cured his fecal odor. What was causing his odor and how did he stop it? Have you ever suffered from fecal odor to where you may have passed it down to him?
