odar

I am a 30 year women and for the past 5years I have had this odar. the smell is like a bolled egg.  like gas or somthing. I dont know where it comes from. when i get nervous it gets worse. Ive tried everything from long baths to body sprays. I am very clean. It doesnt happen all the time so when im in front of the doctor there is no odor. he keeps giving me all types of meds but nothing works. I also suffer with gas. it gets so bad that i cry. i get stuck in my chest and back. the only way to releave it is to make myself vomit. please help me i dont want to suffer anymore.

So, the problem is with smelly breath (sulphur burps), or sulphur gas (flatulence) or both?

1. Any heartburn, burning stomach, nausea, early satiety?
2. Try avoid sulphur containing foods. Click my username then check my journals.

Hello boron,

thanks for taking the time to respond to me. the odor doesnt come when i pass gas this odor just appears. it smells like i passed gas, last nigbt i woke up with the worse gas. I ate some ice cream  that day and i woke up around 4am crying. I had to make myself vomit until everything i had eated the day before was out of my stomach. i dont know if the two are linked together. but i need help i get depressed alot because i am  a very clean women. when i sweat the smell incresses. pleaese let me know if you have heard of anything like this. I do not have any heartburn or nausea, only when i make myself vomit.

What was the reason you have vomited?

There are three things possible, you need to clear this out:
1. Smell in your breath. Ask someone, if your breath smells. Also what's the smell like: rotten eggs, acetone...or other
2. Smelly gas. Is gas smelly or not. Is it like rotten eggs, or like barnyard smell or other? Does this smell relates with some particular food?
3. Body smell may have different reasons, sweating normally aggravates it.

1. Smelly burps may be from
- H. pylori infection of stomach. Dx is with breath urea test.
- fructose malabsorption. You can have low-fructose diet trial for 2 days and see, if it helps

2. Smelly gas may be from
- sulphur containing foods (rotten eggs smell). Dx: Eliminating sulphur-rich foods
- Clostridium difficiel overgrowth (barnyard smell) Dx: stool test for Cl-diff toxin
- small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) Dx: breath test with lactulose

What you can do by yourself, is to have diet trials, check my journals.

Hello Boron,

thanks for responding once again. Its kind of hard for me to discribe what kind of smell i am having. I know that its not my breath. Its more of the barnyard smell i guess. it starts when i sweat. or get nervous. It sometimes have that rotten egg smell.

when the gas gets really bad there is nothing that i can do to releave the pain except vomit. when i make myself vomit it allows the gas to pass through burping.

OK, have diet trials which I've listed above.

First, have low-fructose diet for 2 days, and see if it helps.
Next, have low-sulphur diet for 2 days.

Tis is what you can do at home.

Body (skin) odor is probably from bacteria. They thrive on sugars. So just try low-fructose diet - this will probably not help much for skin, but can help for stomach.

See instructions in my journals.

I've had this problem for about a week now since I'm doing a parasite cleanse.
According to my mind, Boron definitely is on the right track here with a potential fructose-intolerance. It's worth trying it out, but takes some discipline.
I have contracted some sort of gastro-intestinal bacteria, due to which I have extreme gas above the abdomen as soon as I eat anything sugary, but it also happens with Apple Cider Vinegar. It was really terrible, since it got locked in and wouldn't come out. I found myself crawling around for days anytime it would happen, doing sort of acrobatics on the carpet trying to find a position to release it. Didn't really work that well and it doesn't tackle the root of the problem. In addition to what might be the underlying cause of your problem, swallowing air when you get nervous (understandable in anticipation of another "attack") might make everything even worse.
I finally went to my health food store yesterday, where they have various tissue salts by Boiron, which I have really made such good experiences with in the past. There is one called Carbo Vegetabilis (concentration I used is: 30x) and at least that seems reduced by about 80% I would say. These tissue salts are harmless, so please, if you can get a hold of it, try it out (about $7-8 here in Canada at Loblaws).

I only mean this in a good way, so please don't take offense to this when I say this with my best intention: Relieving yourself will most definitely bring other problems, if not contribute to a vicious cycle with the existing one (your esophagus will suffer, your stomach acids will eventually get totally messed up).

I do hope that you're trying some of the good suggestions I have read in the previous threads and maybe/ hopefully feel a bit better already.
