Update on body odor-doctor prescribed pancreatic enzymes!?

Hi Everyone,
  Well I saw my surgeon today about the body odor I have been having.  He has decided to start me on pancreatic enzymes but this scare the hell out of me cus my wt loss will probably stop.  Any body have any experiences with pancreatic enzymes?

Thanks,
Lori

Lori-
I have no experience with the enzymes but I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks Red,  I will keep everyone posted as to what happens.  Thanks for your post. Lori

No personal experience, but they are used for people who lose too much weight, or who are in danger of doing so, to stop weight loss by undoint your malabsorption. What they might have to do with improving body odor is beyond me, so I have no idea why your surgeon prescribed them.

Opps Larra,  I meant to post to you what I posted below to someone else.  I am sorry about that.  Thanks for your post.

 I was put on pancreatic enzymes 10 mths out to stop my weight loss.
 I was on them close to a yr. They did not even slow my weight loss down
little lone stop it.
 So I don't know what to think about your ssituation.
 All you can do is see what happens.
 I hope it works for you.

Wow I am hoping that holds true for me. I guess only time will tell.  I believe his thought is that it will help me absorb some more of what I am taking in as this must be part or all of what I am releasing from my pores.  I will keep everyone posted on my results.

Thanks,
Lori

Lori,

I don't know how much more weight you wish to loose.  But I personally would try other things before I tried that if I still had weight to loose.

I was told I had a body odor also but it got better when I drastically increased my fluids.  Like everything else I put in my mouth I do not estimate correctly so  I have to actually COUNT.  I have started counting the ounces I drink and I found out when I thought I was drinking 64 ish I was actually only drinking about 40.  Now I am around 80 (actually) and trying but failing to get closer to 100.

But my odor appears to have gone away.

Hi Becky,
  Well I am glad that the extra fluids are working for you but they didn't/don't for me.  I am truely drinking 138 oz of water a day at a min and it still doesn't help.  I can't drink much more than that or I will float away...lol.  I was using those 23 oz squeeze water bottles and made sure I took 6 of those but now I use a cup I have that measures the same so I do know how much I am getting and I really wish that was it but it isn't.  Thanks, Lori

Yeah, but did he SNIFF you?  I still think I need to give you the sniff test.
