It took me a while to realize that I am odor free. At first I stopped noticing reactions from people, but it still didn’t convince me that I was odor free. And then, at my job as an Uber driver, I picked up a girl who was on her way to work. When she was in my car, she asked me if she smells like fried chicken. I told her the honest truth, and told her that yes she does. She laughed and told me that she was cooking chicken at home. So then I asked her for a favor, and asked if she can smell anything in my car. She said that I smell straight and that she would tell me that I need a deodoran ...

I used to have an uncontrollable fecal body odor. I know how you guys feel. I want to let you know that its possible to cure yourself. There was a turning point in my life with FBO when I decided to do everything I could to cure myself. My first step was to google every success story that I could find. I came to a conclusion that FBO originates in the gut because a lot of people mentioned leaky gut and IBS. I went to the library and skimmed through some books on nutrition and gut health. I even came across books where body odor was mentioned as a symptom of bad health. Can you believe it? ...

Looks like the best method to test if you still smell bad is animals. I had dogs bark at me and not at other people when I smell bad. So if you think that people are lying to you when you ask if you smell bad, try approaching as many different dogs as you can for several days, let them smell your hands first, and then see if they bark at you.   [End]

Definitely I think the smell is coming from my intestines too. I think its called leaky gut. I found out that eating beef makes me constipated. And at the same time you need to drink lots of water. The longer the stool sits in your gut the more toxins you are absorbing. So you want to have bowel movements everyday. The more the better.   [End]

I just finished my first gallbladder and liver flush. I passed hundreds of stones including one that was really big. Approximately 3 cm. Here are some of the benefits I am experiencing: 1. Increase in appetite. I used to hate food especially breakfast. In my opinion its because I had too much congestion in liver and colon. This congestion sent negative signals to brain to suppress hunger and appetite. Because of this I was very skinny and always embarrassed of how skeletal I am. 2.

Well if you are trying to empty the gallbladder and prevent gallstones than make sure you eat enough fats in your diet because thanks to fats the gallbladder contracts and empties its contents.

Hallo fellow sufferers. I just came across a program to cure leaky gut. It costs money. But, if we buy it together we can split the cost and get it for lesser price per person.

I don’t sweat excessively, so I don’t have that condition. I do have social anxiety. When I am in school, I am always tense and anxious.

Maybe you should try a vegan diet? Search this diet on YouTube, you’ll see a lot of people giving feedback about it. Basically, for breakfast you can eat fruits or oatmeal. Avoid milk, eggs, fish, poultry, and meat. Make a slow transition. Educate yourself about nutrition and diet. Make sure you get all the essential nutrients. I also, watched several interviews with doctors, and one doctor said that obesity (or being overweight) is a disease of nutritional deficiency. Do some research on it. Good Luck!   [End]

Not really. I think I still ate some foods that could have potential gluten cross contamination. Some foods are processed by equipment that also processes wheat.

Also, I heard that oatmeal, even though non-gluten grain, has proteins that are similar and related to gluten. So the conclusion is, if gluten free diet is not working for you, try to eliminate all grains as well. This includes rice, buckwheat, and oatmeal. ...

I definitely cannot smell myself and I don’t have mental problem as well. The examples I mentioned above are just few of them. I think the fact that it smells fecal in my presence gives some people a green light to pass farts. Afterall, it already smells bad. And it can be easily blamed on me. Sometimes, people tried to pass gasses but it awkwardly came out loud and they emberassed themselves. Happened three times in school. But I can’t smell myself at all. The odor is very strong.

I am still a little bit skeptical about microorganisms from the large intestine entering our blood stream. If that were to happen we would have a blood infection. I agree that the molecules, which are many times smaller then the microorganisms, can enter our blood stream through the small opening between the epithelial cells of gut lining. But bacteria in our blood just doesn’t make sense. Some of these bacteria can cause adverse affects when they trespass outside of the boundaries of the colon.   [End]

Interesting strategy. I was recently researching the chemicals that cause the bad smell of farts and came across the chemical called Hydrogen Sulfide. This chemical is also found in rotten eggs, which makes them smell so bad. Maybe if I took a whiff of a home made rotten egg, I would be sure whether or not my body emits hydrogen sulfide. If I can smell the rotten egg, then my body doesn’t emit it. If I can’t, then the chances are that I am immune to it because of my own body emitting it everyday right under my nose. Then we can do some research on what bacteria produces this gas and so on. ...
