Question 1

breath smell bad after doing poo twice or more in a day!
i really don't know what's the logic behind it.
but, smell of breath , body odor intensifies?

Accepted Answer

Try this logic...: There's a very good chance that even a little stool leakage is the problem. Any change in diet, alteration in gut flora, or purgative agents may change your stool pattern &amp; odor. Please keep in mind that not everything bought in a health food store, or "natural" products (however well intentioned in taking), may agree with you or be entirely safe.  See your doctor instead for evaluation &amp; advice.

Question 3

i have been having what i think is candida in my stool regularly and massive body odor for a while. what type of practitioner should i consult?

Accepted Answer

Change your diet: You could try some of these suggestions first: eliminate starches and sugars from diet. Eat lots of veggies and protein, less sweet fruits, no starches or sguar. A clove of garlic a day inhibits yeast, and so does a supplement called capryllic acid. Take a good probiotic daily, and also one that has saccaromyces in it: that's a friendly yeast that competes with candida.

Question 6

why do i have fecal body odor? i am very hygienic i shower everyday and wipe my butt until the paper is white after a bowel movement but now i have started to notice a strong fecal body odor coming from me. a couple of times i have entered my finger into

Accepted Answer

First : First off, try to find out where the odor is emanating from: breath, anal area or no identifiable source.   You can ask someone to do a sniff test, if you canâ€™t figure out the source of the odor. Do you have any medical conditions or other symptoms?     If you find that there are small amounts of feces adherent to the area around your anus consider using moistened towelets was wiping. 
      There can be a number of reasons for foul body odors. Our body releases odor through our breath, feces, urine and sweat.  Most of the time when we think of body odor, we think of sweat in the area of the groin or underarms. This type of odor is usually caused by the interaction of sweat and bacteria.
      If your body  smells like feces, must ask you what kind of diet you have?  Are you drinking at least eight 8 ounces glasses of water per day? Are you getting enough vegetables and fruits, especially ones that are robust with fiber?  Are you eating a ton of red meat? The bacteria associated with meat can create smelly bowel movements.  Do you suffer from constipation?  An unhealthy diet can be the culprit for body odor.
Next issue, medical conditions: irritable bowel syndrome (abdominal pain with constipation alternating with diarrhea), food allergies, leaky gut syndrome or in severe situations; bowel obstructions  can be reasons for malodor.
I recommend that you see your doctor so that he or she can rule out any medical problems. You can talk with your doctor about the possibility of doing a gentle juice cleanse. If you donâ€™t have a specific medical problem: hydrate well and improve your diet.   Good luck.
