Hello Everyone,
I'm new here, so this is my first post. I hope that I get to learn from you and that I could perhaps teach you something valuable as well. A little bit of background about myself:
* Body Odor started around May 2015 that's when I first noticed a poop smell around me while I was at a friend's house (embarrassing).
*Then around June 2015, I started noticing that people would sniff around me and touch their noses, etc. At the same time I couldn't smell anything at all. Then a few days later, a nose odor appeared and I have been having it ever since (almost a year now).
*I started becoming paranoid about my Body Odor about 4 years ago. I always thought I had a weird smell to me but people and friends would randomly tell me that I smelled good and would always ask what perfume I was wearing.
*When I turned 18, I started drinking A LOT. I mean my friends at the time and I would get our hands on beer and liquor (every weekend) and would drink until we passed out. Looking back, I regret every single one of those nights.
*Started having bowel issues at the age of about 16 (I'm 23 now)
*Always ate VERY unhealthy. Sometimes I'd buy a 5$ bag of chips and eat that for dinner with a Sprite. I mean I was the epitome of an unhealthy eater. It scares me when I think about how unhealthy I was.
*Summer of 2014 I started to experiment with drugs (ecstasy, psilocybin mushrooms) on top of other stuff that I had been doing (marijuana, drinking).
Fast Forward to now May 2016, I find myself in a nightmare. I've quit my job due to the humiliation, have no friends, barely leave my house, just about cry myself to sleep every night, and like some of you thought about suicide, but I know that God puts these things on our path as a warning, lesson, w.e you wanna call it. I was fine before, there has to be a way to solve this problem. I am learning so much about the body, issues around me, becoming more spiritually awakened, and just appreciating everything more.
~I've taken matters into my own hands because doctors are no help at all. I've gone to a Naturopath and we discovered that I have Vitamin D deficiency, hypothyroidism, gastritis (endoscopy- still waiting the results), Candida overgrowth.
******CURRENT SYMPTOMS******
>odor in nose (can smell it after I shower and then slowly dissipates as the day goes by) people can smell me even outside.
>bloating, gas, stomach noises, constipation, sometimes diarrhea, itchy skin (has gotten better though), tinea versicolor, white coated tongue (middle and back of tongue), scalloped tongue edges, white stuff in stools, and the most extreme one Body Odor that smells like poop, sewer, smelly feet, musty, etc.
******CURRENT TREATMENTS*****
>drinking 2 liters of water , 1 green veggie smoothie, and herbal teas per day.
>strict candida diet (no sugar, carbs, fruit, yeast, gluten, dairy etc)
>anti-fungals
>Hcl, pepsin, pancreatin
>natural supplements (vitamin d, thyroid support, milk thistle, molybdenum, vitamin c, enzymes for candida walls)
>having more faith in God
~I completely stopped drinking (it's almost been a year) and doing all types of drugs, I'm on a strict candida diet (on month 2), and have been trying so hard to learn about whatever this is that I have. I feel like I'm dead sometimes.
~I'll keep posting on here every week to monitor my progress and hopefully, one day I'll be able to have my life back and help others. This is something that I don't wish upon anyone. Hang in there everyone. Much Love <3
