Stinky Question...

I have a problem that maybe SOMEONE out there can help me with. It seems that after a few hours of taking a shower or , I seem to develop BO!! It smells like either onions or garlic (which I know I haven't eaten). I use a deodorant/anti-perspirant, but I'm wondering what else I can do? It's embarrassing to say the least. I can't think of any stong smelling foods that I have eaten that would cause this....

My breath seems to be under control at the moment. When my dad said that I had 'dragon breath' I started brushing more and using mouthwash and Listerine breath strips... I'm supposed to go to my uncle's house this afternoon and I don't want to go over there smelling like an onion field!

OK you guys where is the BO (vaginal/armpit/general, sorry to be so graphic)coming from???Pre Op I have ALL these things to look foward to. How long will it last? With the ketosis increased H2O should help??? Diva

Sorry to be even more graphic, have you checked your belly button, even with frequent bathing it can get smelly, try cleaning it with q-tip and alcholol. Louise

Well, to answer some questions, it's not my belly button (I clean that every time) and it's not my vaginia (after bathing, I even use FDS). I was always told that your mouth acts like a vent, so I try to brush often and use mouthwash and breath strips. After I took a shower this afternoon, I put on Arm & Hammer Deodorant/Anti-Persperant. I figured that the baking soda MIGHT help. So far so good. Perhaps it was just a change in my deodorant... I still would like to hear other people's take on this!

I didn't think you stunk and I would have told you if I did find you ripe. I'm blunt that way so I'm told. kp @ goal aand not stinky

I noted the same thing but now that I'm drinking more water, I'm not so stanky anymore ;)

Them ketones put some funk on ya. That was a big issue with the Atkins when he was presenting his diet. The poisons were showing up and the medical community said hey, there be ketones in them thar samples. He said no crap, that's supposed to happen. That's why we advocate water like crazy when we start to shrink and stink. I think it was the onion I put in her coat pocket though. kp @ goal

Kevin, you are the only one who could say that to my face and still be standing!!!

Nobody wants to be the stinky kid. That's why I blame it on Jon when the dog's not around. Somebody above said check your belly button. That's a trouble spot for us gaps. I started keeping my spare change in there so there is no room for funk to bunk. kp @ goal
