Foul odor/ IBS

[needs_help1]

Hi, I'm 16 and have been dealing with a foul odor that follows me around for a while now.  I went to a
gatrologist and he diagnosed me with IBS and has scheduled several blood test to test for diseases I might have.  I have changed my diet and have started to take Meta-mucil, Probiotics, Chlorophyll, Magnesium, Zinc but I still deal with this foul smell.  I have resorted to not eating for days at times and even that doesn't work.  This is really effecting every aspect of my life.  I need help!

This is me all the time. My nasty is in the form of GAS! I'm now 32 and have had IBS since I was about 23. It will get better once you know what causes it for you. We are all able to eat different things so try first taking out diary. That is the biggest one for me and gluten. Now I am older and care less about who is grossed out but I know how you feel. I too used to think I could never eat but honey, you need to eat. It does take days to get your system cleaned out what you ate days ago.
God bless

Hi, understand your predicament. But is this body odor? Or it’s the smell that comes with burping? Or is it something which only you can smell? Smelly burping can be due to viral infections or due to an infection with giardiasis. The smelly burps and discomfort could also be due to food staying for longer time in the stomach like gastroparesis or due to food intolerance like lactose.  GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease), where the acid contents of the stomach come up into the esophagus, could also cause bad breath. If the smell is something which only you perceive then it could be due to nasal block or sometimes due to sinusitis. So, discuss the various possibilities with your doctor, he can then help with appropriate therapy. Regards.
