Re: How do you cope with cruel comments from complete strangers

Hi

I hope you don't feel too bad. I usually feel bad when somebody makes a comment. Really bad, but then try to bounce back really quickly.

If you think of it as truthful feedback you can see a strangers comment in a positive light. Feeback is really useful because you can look to see if something you ate or did during those few days was wrong, causing the odor to be worse.

Secondly they can sometimes let you know what you smell of. Most people we ask for help tell us we don't smell and don't have a problem, -friends and family just being kind. When a stranger makes a comment you are getting the truth. It may hurt but leads you closer to knowing what is wrong, what you smell of and perhaps you are more motivated to look for a cure or plan a new diet.

What do you think made the odor come back strongly? As it does seem to go in waves for most of us. I have taken many strong Antibiotics and wonder if they just kill all the good bacteria. I have loaded up on strong probiotics and got a comment at that time so thought maybe good bacteria can smell just as bad. (they all break down food so could be) Another theory that people have is that systemic Candida is causing the odor. Most Antibiotics are a fungus mold like penicillin. They could aggravate an odor problem if it is caused by Candida or mold toxins. I don't think everyone has systemic candida though.

My theory at the moment is that our livers are not able to detoxify all the toxins in the body therefore what can't be processed by the kidneys and excreted in the urine comes out through the skin. This would also make sense for TMAU where the liver doesn't detoxify trymethl. Perhaps the liver also doesn't detoxify sulphur, for those that have a rotten eggs sulphur odor. Or sometimes it is both and can't detoxify many other substances causing the odor to change and become fecal, garbage, eggy sulphurous, fishy, depending on each day and what you have eaten that day. On good days it could just be a normal B.O smell or a slight breath or foot odor. I know many people say their odor changes and sometimes they don't have it at all. That is true for me. Some days it causes strangers to comment, we have all been there.

I am currently looking into everything that helps the liver detoxify and especially the sulfation pathway.

Take this comment as a blessing in disguise that has motivated you into being more aware of diet and possible causes and their cures. Find the one that makes most sense to you and your body. We are all here to help each other. Let us know if you have any thoughts on what you think is causing your odor.
