Re: Thinking about confronting someone who makes fun of me...

Thanks Neonbunny. I would appreciate all the info on diet changes I can get. This condition has been running my life for about 19 years... and although I'm fortunate in that I've been married, had kids, etc... stuff that I've heard younger sufferers say that they fear missing out on, my relationships have always been with men who treat me as a lesser being and I've accepted it because having someone to come home to who doesn't smell anything and where I can imagine I'm like everyone else has been a kind of trade off.

As far as diet goes, I've tried vegetarianism - didn't help at all. I don't touch fish or any other seafood, which sucks because I love the stuff. :-/ The only other two factors I can think of are dairy products or Sugar - Sugar is my comforter when I'm feeling stressed and although I've tried to stop eating it, I always seem to go back to it in a moment of weakness.

My other problem is that since no one close to me seems to be able to smell anything, the only way I ever know I smell bad is when someone makes a comment. So, how do I know it's working even if I do find something that works for me?
