Body Odor Diet
Alkaline Diet
SIBO Diet

Alkaline Diet: The alkaline diet is mainly based on switching your pH( potential of Hydrogen) balance from acidic to alkaline. Most of our bodies are acidic due to unhealthy foods we eat everyday. This is especially true if your on the SAD  (Standard American Diet) which consists of eating copious amounts of meat, dairy, refined foods, and sweets(refined sugar). Anyways, it has been said that everything we eat has either an acidic or alkaline solution, when we tend to eat too much of acid-forming foods we cause an imbalance in our systems. The excessive acid  lowers our pH level  and cause a bad environment  in our bodies that will produce bad bacteria, viruses, or degenerative diseases. The point of the alkaline diet is to switch your body from an acidic state to a balanced one ; the ratio of alkaline foods to acid foods should be 80:20,
(80% alkaline forming foods and 20 % acid forming foods).Though having an acidic body is bad for you, eating acidic foods is not actually bad, only if the majority of your diet consists of acidic food is when it is considered a problem.

Note: There are foods that have a higher or lower level of alkalinity and acidity. For a more detailed version  of  a alkaline food table and additional information click on these links:
http://www.trans4mind.com/nutrition/pH.html
http://www.angelfire.com/az/sthurston/acid_alkaline_foods_list.html


Note: The highlighted colors on the foods will depend on their order in alkalinity. 
In addition, some foods have two different alkaline levels next to them, the reason for that is the fact that some  alkaline tables have them considered high while other tables considered them  to be low, also  some other foods are not even labeled because I couldn't find the alkaline level for them.

SIBO Diet: The SIBO(Small Intestine Bacteria Overgrowth ) diet is for people who have similar symptoms to those who have IBS ( constant gas, bloating, diarrhea, etc.). The premise of this diet is to reduce the amount of bacteria in the intestines by cutting out foods that will ferment in your intestines, thus diminishing the bacteria and it's symptoms. And to establish a diet of easily digestible foods so the bacteria in the intestines will not have time to grow when the foods are being digested. This diet prohibits eating high-fiber foods because it will develop a productivity in bacterial growth, and it also restricts the consumption of sugars because it will cause fermentation of bacteria as well. There's not really a list of what you can or cannot eat on a SIBO diet, there only guidelines about what you should or shouldn't do. With that knowledge, I'm going to try and make a list of what should eat and what you should avoid.

For more information on SIBO click on these links
http://www.livestrong.com/article/318789-the-sibo-diet/
http://www.gidoctor.net/diet-ibs-sibo.php

Guidelines for SIBO:
^Avoid sweeteners and reduce your sugar intake to about 40g a day
^ Avoid or limit intake of dairy products
^Avoid high-fiber foods 
^Avoid foods that leave a lot of residue or undigestable substances (ex. peas, beans, lentils)
^Drink about 8 glasses of water daily
^Limit the consumption of sweet fruits 
^Consume a lot of anti-bacterial foods and herbs to kill off the bacteria
^Eat  easily digestible foods to prevent fermentation
^It's preferred to eat cooked vegetables rather than raw because it leaves less residue, which means it is more easier to digest
^Eat vegetables that are low in starch
^Eat foods that are low in carbohydrates
^ The  FODMAP diet  is another choice to try if you have SIBO

Body Odor Diet
Anti-inflammatory Diet
FODMAP Diet




Anti-inflammatory Diet: Inflammation is said to be the root cause of serious illnesses and diseases. Although it is a healing response that has been sent out from the immune system to combat  infections and illnesses, chronic inflammation damages the body and does the same thing that it was trying to prevent, all because of  the certain foods we eat. What the anti-inflammatory diet is suppose to do is prevent ill health and diseases by  cutting out the foods that were causing the inflammation in the first place and bringing in the foods that are suppose to heal your  body and reduce inflammation in your system.

Here are some other lists of Anti-inflammatory and Pro-inflammatory foods

FODMAP Diet: The FODMAP diet is basically a diet used to treat IBS sufferers from their symptoms of diarrhea, gas, abdominal bloating, etc. ; or at least reduce their symptoms. The premise behind this diet is to eat a low FODMAP( fermentable, olgiosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides,and polyols) diet so that all of these symptoms will disappear or diminish the embarrassing  effects.  It is also conveyed to reduce fecal body odor which is the reason why I put this diet in  the blog.

Body Odor Diets

 If you have any suggestions about improving  this blog

 please tell me how can I make this blog better?

Like the title implies these diets are diets that were used from people who cured themselves of their body odors. Though these diets have helped some they're not specifically for everyone, for example, the TMAU diet obviously helps the ones who suffer from TMAU and the Candida diet helps those who suffer from Candida. Though it might still help you, you should go to a doctor and figure out what's wrong with you or at least research the possible disease or disorder you might have so you can deal effectively on your distressing odors. All of these diets have one thing in common and that is to get rid of processed commercial brand foods that have high fructose corn syrup or white flour and the like. I will put up the foods you are allowed to eat and what you should avoid on each diet.

Diet List
1.Candida Diet
2.TMAU Diet
3.FODMAP Diet (@ Body Odor Diets 2)
4.Anti-inflammatory Diet (@ Body Odor Diets 2)
5.Alkaline Diet (@ Body Odor Diets 3)
6. SIBO  Diet (@ Body Odor Diets 3)
Note: this list is not ranked in efficiency

Candida Diet:

The candida diet is for people who suffer from a fungal infection overgrowth called candidiasis, which can lie in the intestinal tract, mouth, genitals, and throat. The purpose of the diet is to starve the candida or restrict it from growing by eliminating sugar and simple carbohydrates from your diet. The reason being is that sugar and carbohydrates is the yeast's(candida) food source, and if you don't take it out of your diet the candida will still flourish and multiply. Therefore, you have to restrict your sugar and carbohydrate consumption or at least limit it to an extremely low level, take anti-fungal herbs or medicine, and supply your body with probiotics for you to have a chance of ridding it from your body.

TMAU Diet:  
The TMAU diet basically consists of eating foods that have a low choline intake, it has been said that this diet will reduce the odors but it will not completely eliminate them so I don't want you to misinterpret the full effectiveness of this diet. I primarily found low choline and high choline foods in a USDA pdf application on choline foods that was made in 2008. If you want to look further into the application the link will be posted below. On a side note, though the TMAU diet does not completely get rid of the odors in your body it has been said that taking copper chlorophyllin, or washing with charcoal soap, or even doing a liver cleanse will reduce the odors even more. And taking them all together will no doubt bring your bring your body odor to an all-time low (but keep in mind what works for some may not work for others).

For more information on TMAU look at these links:

http://www.hbri.org/TMAuria.htm 
Note: 
*This new TMAU list will have only foods that you can eat that are 50mg  of choline or lower
*Remember that the least amount of choline you can eat per day is 425-550mg, if you eat any less then you will  become deficient in it.
*Some deficiency symptoms in choline include  fatigue, insomnia, inability to concentrate urine in kidneys, memory problems. And for more severe cases infertility, abnormal bone formation,  liver dysfunction, impaired growth,  and cardiovascular/circulatory problems. Becoming deficient in choline is not something you want to do.

Theories and Facts of why we might smell

 If you have any suggestions about improving  this blog

 please tell me how can I make this blog better?

(INCOMPLETE)

There are number of things that I have read online on why we have such a disagreeable odor. Honestly, I don't know what is the underlying cause of my fecal body odor. Mainly because I'm in college and I'm stint on the amount of money I can spend so I can't really make appointments for gastrointestinologists and the like.  However, most of these conditions can be treated through a change in diet and other modest things. Also, I will separate the theories from facts on this blog so you will know what is actually true rather than what is actually probable.



 (Theory)
Candida/Leaky Gut Syndrome: Candida is basically a yeast infection that is formed inside your body, mainly in your digestive tract, mouth, throat, and for women-vagina. This is all due to a lack of healthy choices, for example: eating a lot of unhealthy foods (processed foods, refined sugar, white flour), not getting enough exercise(  living a sedentary life or being a couch potato), and so on so forth. These unhealthy choices weaken our immune system which in turn lets this yeast infection infiltrate right into our bodies without our bodies defenses putting up a fight. When talking about candida in our digestive tract, it embeds itself into our digestive walls and puncture holes into our membranes which then causes leaky gut. Leaky gut is the result of candida outbreak in the gut

(Theory)
Heavy Metals: Metals are found in the clothes we wear, the containers we put food in, and the food itself. You should definitely be wary of any fillings you have in your mouth, since that too can be a reason for bad breath or odor .There is a possibility that we could have a heavy metal toxic overdose. Which is another possible cause for our odor

http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/814960-overview

(Fact)
TMAU: Is a very rare disease where the body cannot fully metabolize or  breakdown trimethyamine which in turn causes a build up in the body and releases an odor. It's mainly said to give a fishy odor, in fact the second name to this metabolic disorder is called Fishy Odor syndrome. However, it has been found that only 10% of TMAU sufferers have a fishy odor about them, all the other odors that have been attributed to TMAU  is  fecal odor, rotten eggs, tire smell, etc.

                              Here is a good website about TMAU
                              http://www.bloodbornebodyodorandhalitosis.com/


(Fact) 
Anal fissure/ Anal fistula/ Hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids are said to cause fecal body odor because the inflammation in the rectum that  can  cause anal leakage, which produces odor.There might also be feces left over in the rectum  because of the blockage of the hemorrhoids which is a possible cause to the fecal smell. Anal Fistula on the other hand, is an infected abscess in the opening of the anal canal. The reason that this might be a factor of body odor is the fact that this pocket of pus could pop and leak out mucous from the anus which can have a unbearable odor. Anal fissure is similar to hemorrhoids because the small tearing on the anus has a possibility of producing anal leakage.

          For more information on hemorrhoid click on this link
          http://www.hemorrhoid.net/anal_rectal_conditions.php


(Theory)
 IBS: I don't how IBS can cause body odor but through researching fecal body odor and leaky gas on the internet. I have found out that some people who suffer from IBS  also have problems dealing with this unknown odor that is spewing out their body. So it's possible that IBS is a factor or maybe a symptom to having a bad body odor.

(Fact)
 Vitamin/ Mineral Deficiencies : It may be possible that we have vitamin or mineral deficiencies in our body which results in the foul odor people smell from us day to day. It has been stated that people who have a lack of vitamin B-12 may give off a disagreeable odor  and it has been also stated that people who do not take Zinc have a stronger odor about themselves than the person who does. So with that, I would suggest that you would start to take your daily vitamins and see if there's any change in your odor
 ( unless you can't smell yourselves like I can't).

(Fact)
Metabolic Disorders: If you had a body odor problem for most of your life this may be  an indication that you were born with a metabolic disorder.Some people are born with defective genes that diminishes the body's process to metabolize certain compounds that are found in food. Metabolism effects enzyme(substance that helps us digest food) efficiency and when we have a faulty metabolism are enzymes will be defective as well. This results in the body not being able to fully break down sugars, proteins, or other compounds, therefore causing toxicity and leading to body odor. TMAU is one of the well known metabolic disorders, but there are many other metabolic disorders that people suffer with. Another  metabolic disorder that causes body odor is Maple Syrup Urine disease.This is where  amino acids leucine, isoleucine,  and valine can't be broken down , consequently, it makes your urine smell like ( yep, you guessed it ) maple syrup.

(Fact)
Skin Infections: Fungal infections  may be  the culprit to a  detestable odor in your body. For example, the most common fungal infection is  "Athlete's foot", this fungal infection  is affiliated with foul odor because of the decomposition  of  the bacteria when it's in the inner crevices of the feet ( the odor is often described as having a "cheesy" smell). The multiplication of the bacteria is often caused by the feet to be sweaty and warm due to the blockage of air from the socks and shoes. Warm and damp areas are the aerobic bacteria's best place to live, and when you give the bacteria a chance to multiply, the odor will proliferate as well. This can be true for any area of our body that is often warm and damp ( this is especially true for vaginal infections), also your hair can be a breeding ground for bacteria. There is another  skin infection that is caused by a bacteria called " Helicobacter", this skin infection is said to make you give off an "ammonia" odor. This bacteria originates from stomach ulcers or the  over consumption of  protein, I have only listed two different skin infections but you get the point that   skin infections do have an affect on  how you smell.

I know this looks disgusting, but this picture shows how skin infections develop in the crevices of warm and damp places of your body. Wherever there's moistness, whether  it be in the crevice of your toes, your hair, your genitals, your scalp, etc. There's a chance of infection or bacterial overgrowth, and whenever there's a chance at that there's a chance of odor seeping out

Though he's mainly talking about feet, I still believe the information he's revealing can be applied to any part of the body that may have a fungus infection or regular infection. For more information about skin infections click on the links below

Liver and Kidney diseases: Kidney diseases like "Uremia"  have the ability to make you smell like urine or a type of fishy odor because of the build up of urea in the body, this  is basically caused by kidney failure.

(Theory)
Overactive Sebaceous  glands: Sebaceous glans are responsible for producing oily secretions near the hair follicles. With that knowledge, sebaceous glands can be found on all parts of the body, including non-hairy regions like the  eyes, the nipples, and the nose. Their main function is to lubricate the skin, and hairs of our body with a  fatty substance called sebum. When the production of these glands become excessive, the most common symptom of overactive sebaceous glands is acne, blackheads, and whiteheads. However, people don't realize that these glands that produce an excess of sebum can also be the cause of body odor. The reason being is that the cause of odor itself is bacteria breaking down the proteins from the sebum. Consequently, the more oil that is being produced from the glands the more"food" the bacteria can thrive off of, thus proliferating stronger body odor.

(Fact)
Hyperthyroidism/ Overactive thyroid: An Overactive thyroid can cause body odor because when the body produces too much of  hormone thyroxine it causes the body's metabolism to speed up. This acceleration of metabolism causes a host of problems like increased weight loss, rapid heart beat, nervousness, and also sweating. The excessive sweating is the reason behind the odor since sweating activates the apocrine glands, which attracts bacteria, thus causing body odor.

Conclusion: So in conclusion, I don't know what is causing our body odor. As you can see there  are a number of things that can be the cause. Either way, the one thing that I can tell for a fact is that we a have a lot of toxins in our body that is causing the odor. If we didn't have any toxins we wouldn't be smelling it's that simple. I know a lot of other people who eat a lot worse than I do, yet they never have a odor problem. Whereas, I have to worry about smelling like shit the next day since I ate a single donut. In any case, throughout all the articles, forums, and websites that was related to body odor the majority of the author's answers were to cleanse or detoxify our body. So if you have a habit of eating junk food like I do prepare to make a ultimate sacrifice in your life.
