Re: what is working for you?
Hi Anna;
I'm not an expert when it comes to BB but I have started my enzyme therapy after reading up on it because I have had trouble for years digesting certain foods because of acid reflux and fruit,foods with sugar,bananas(which give you gas as does apples, and I'm lactose intolerant and I also have problems with BO after eating certain foods. Any way I 'm taking it DAY BY DAY but I started on Friday and by Saturday my odor was gone, since taking the enzymes my BO seemed to have disappeared, I'm still sweating a lot ,I'm hoping my supplements for my thyroid helps with that.Maybe because the enzymes have been breaking down the food in my digestive system because my liver can't do it by itself. I mean I ate chicken coleslaw,mashed potatoes (just to test them) and a small apple dessert, any other times these foods would have me bloated and smelling bad and feeling sick. I 'm not saying I'm fully healed because I ordered some supplements for my thyroid gland which also contain enzymes because I learned that people who have thyroid problems sweat a lot,which also causes odor. An Rn at the hospital where I work told me last year that taking enzymes should help me. some years ago I took enzymes because a lady at the health food store said they would help me but I now realize enzymes also contain lactaballius (which contains milk) and I didn't put them in the refrigerator so they didn't work because they went bad from sitting out, I then got the papaya enzymes and they work but not to the extent of digesting meats and proteins like they should, enzymes with bromelian does that. I purchased the ezymes from GNC last Friday it's a formula of different enzymes, I also purchased the papaya enzyme to take after meals and the digestive formula to take before meals (They said take one, i take two for now) and I didn't wake up with bad breath or stomach problems which I have done so for years. Like I said, I'm taking this DAY BY DAY. As for your sinuses The link I posted about myths and treatments about BO mentions things about the sinuses if you have an odor there, they said it could be an infection or something. I had problems with my sinuses and asthma, my sinuses were inflamed and I couldn't breathe through my nose, Since my doctor gave me Nasonex my sinus are healing and no longer inflamed and I'm breathing better. because it contains cortisoid. I don't know if your problem is due to infection or what But read up on enzymes yourself and sinus problems, you may need some extra help with digestion. I will report my progress as I go along, God bless! I hope this helped.
