I need help!!!

Hello

I have been consciously battling this horrid Body Odor for a year. I'm sure most of you understand the pain, frustration and loneliness that accompanies having a BO. At this point I don't know if I still stink, or if my smell is now caused by anxiety.

Here's some background information about myself.


It started out as just vagina odor. Well actually it was a recurring yeast infection. Although that was annoying, the smell wasn't noticeable to anyone else.

Around February I started experiencing issues with my breath. It wasn't a fecal or garbage smell initially. It was more so on the lines of extremely the bad morning breath smell (if that makes sense). At that same time I was also experiencing brain fog, an ear infection and sinus issues.

After researching a bit I came across Candida, and it went downhill from there. I went to a holistic doctor who told me that I did have a yeast overgrowth. She informed me that I should follow a strict diet and load up on supplements. Here are all of the naturopathic recommended supplements I tried

GSE (made me smell worst)
odorless Garlic pills (made me smell worst)
Garlic
Bentonite Clay
probiotics
Oil of Oregano(burned my mouth )
Tea tree oil
Chinese supplement (that required taking 8 pills a day. I refused)

Now I won't say that Candida overgrowth doesn't exist. I will say however that, that naturopath was misleading to put it nicely. I was tested for yeast. The results indicated that my Img I believe which was 1.3, was out of range. After taking most of those supplements and trying to stay on the diet, my Body Odor became worst.

Now before as I mentioned my symptoms were bad, however my smell wasn't really noticeable to other people.

A month into the recommended regimen I started to smell like medicine. The smell was coming out of my pores. It was extremely strong. It had gotten so bad that I kept calling off work, due to embarrassment. Subsequently I was fired. I had also started experiencing food intolerance's to dairy and grains. At that point I took matters into my own hands.

First I cut out all of my previous supplements. Then, I did a bowel flush, using Epsom salt. Lastly, I introduced a different natural probiotic. This regimen worked for a few weeks. I didn't smell like a medicine cabinet anymore. I started a new job. I honestly thought it was over. That feeling was short lived.

I believe I noticed my odor was back weeks after people around me did. When I did get a whiff of myself this time around I gagged (literally). I smelled of feces. Sometimes hot garbage or mildew. It came to a point where someone could smell me from three feet away. I noticed that the smell was worst whenever I ate anything beside veggies and a few fruits.

I decided to try different specialists in traditional medicine. I visited..

Dentist (all clear)
ENT (I was informed I had inflammation from allergies)
Gastro... here I was tested for
*Celiac disease (negative)
*INS (negative)
*Bacteria overgrowth (negative)
*GERD (I was diagnosed with Barretts/GERD)
*Liver function (all clear)
*Thyroid function (all good)

Currently, I no longer taking probiotics. The raw version contains milk which makes me BO worst. I use a nettle pot 2x a day. And gargle with diluted hydrogen peroxide. I also take prescription Dexilant for GERD.

This experience has caused me to have anxiety. I'm not even sure if I still stink or if it's all in my head. My family and friends claim don't smell anything.

What I need is to meet someone in Chicago or surrounding areas to give me a sniff test. Not only that we can work together to fight this debilitating issue. I need someone that is honest. This thing has seriously taken over my life. But I have to beat it. I have kid to provide for. Yet, I'm terrified to work because of the ridicule that I have already endured for previous co workers.

If anyone is in the Chicagoland please contact me kellyg933 at yahoo. Even if you're not and just need someone to talk to.

Sorry for the long post
