I Had such a strong odor in my bowel and urine of aluminum, it was unmistable. Even after flushing and leaving the ladies room hubby went in and smelt it so strongly. In Nov/DEC I had this for 2 months every time I went to the ladies room. THis is what made my body from having major sodium loss issues. I am now smell it again not as strong but surely there. It did not show on my hair analysis in large amounts..I was told this is common to loose heavy metals and not to show on the hair analysis at times...for what ever reason...
