My 15 year old daughter was incorectly
diagnosed with anorexia after severe
weight loss following a major diet change
when she went to italy for 3 months
student exchange - fortunately she
rediagnosed herself & found she has
irritable bowel syndrome (or one of the
apparently many similar problems which
mimic each other) in any case she ahs to
have a specific carbohydrate diet as a
result she's gained over 12 kgs (25lbs) in
about 2 months & is really pretty
healthy now & even has motions daily
(as opposed to once every 5-6 days) &
without screaming in agony with them.
But she is having almost constant (&
i'm not exagerating) foul gas smells
erupting from her anus - horrid to be near
her but worse to be her in this regard.
She has sought out help from forums re
irritable bowel etc & was told it
would happen for about a week at 1 month
& then another week at 3 months after
going on the diet well that was over 6
weeks ago & she's been on the diet for
2 months & had the gsa for 2 months.
It sometimes seems to be worse if she has
alot of fruit but really it just is there
almost constantly.
As she is studying she is out with others
(aside from family who won't be cruel)
& I am really worried about the effect
if people start saying things - which may
already be happening.

If your daughter is eating fruit she
should not mix it with anything else.
Especially if she is eating melons. Fruit
should be eaten on an empty stomach and if
combined with other foods will start to
ferment within the stomach. This is due to
the fact that fruit takes longer to digest
and other foods move through faster and
combining foods starts a fermentation
within the stomach that produces gas and
bloating. Just something to whatch out
for.
You also might consider having her do a
colon cleanse which will help eliminate
any build up in her colon. This will also
help with the "foul" smell. I am using
"colonix" by drnatura for 8 years and it
has helped me with this problem as well. I
also had to change my diet. Good luck and
let us know what you have done to resolve
the problem.

Hello. I had something similar but the
smell would come out during times of
nervousness. I didn't even notice until I
could smell it. It turned out to be a
potassium deficiency. I discovered that
the smell went away as long as I drank a
lot of Gatorade.
