IBS sufferer-FBO,LG
Hi guy, I am Jake. Currently 18 years old. I am a Singaporean. Currently still a student.
I really have to admit that I stink.
I am always lying to myself that it is just in the mind. But I know deep inside, that I am a smelly person. I have tried to cure it on my own by taking some supplements.(Herbal pills, garlic pills and also probiotic) but I still stink. I have taken 6 months off from school to try and tackle the problem. But it seems to have failed. I am going back to school soon.
I can't imagine how am I going to get along with the others, doing projects work. And not to mention, putting up with the comments from some jerks. Just what did I do wrong that I have to suffer like this?
Exercise is now part of my life now, and I jog once per week and also skip rope daily. Am I suffering from Candida-sis? or TMAU? All I know is that humans should not smell like this. there's definitely something wrong with my body.
My school will start soon, hope that people can judge me from who I am, and not what I smell like. I know there are moments in my life where I just want to end everything, once and for all. But I constantly have to remind myself that 'Its easy to die, but it takes courage to live on.'
How I came to be like this:
I was suffering from some severe bloating and gas problems at first (around April last year), I went to see a GI specialist, and was diagnosed as a GERD. But after some treatment with the acid pills, the problem started, I start to stink. I told my doctor about the BO problem, and he sent me to various tests, ultrasound, endoscopy etc. all results come back negative. & I was concluded as IBS. I have to admit that I am really happy to find this website.
It at least let me know that I am not the only one suffering from this problem. This gives me encouragement.
Life is full of difficulties, But a life of a IBS sufferer, is even harder. I will tell myself to look towards the positive and just try and close one ear from the comments about my smell. I am going to go to school daily, and don't care anymore. I paid the school fees too, so I deserve to be there. Its for my future. And also It is always better to tackle problem face-on then to escape from it. I might escape from it one day, But I can't escape from it forever.
To all those who smell good, cherish your health. To anyone suffering the same problem as me, GL. We can get rid of it and stay healthy again. Hopefully the day will come soon.

Feel free to comment on my blog. I know it might not be as interesting, but I am going to keep this blog active, until I died, or there are no more sufferers like me.

I am praying for you and for me and for all the other people here who are suffering with IBS. I just want you to know that you are not alone. I have suffered with IBS for 15 years and it is an awful thing. I also cannot function in life like everyone else. I stay away from people and can't be in a normal work setting. Everytime I go somewhere I get it. I worry about getting it and I get it. I have to run to the bathroom. The worst part is that it is so embarassing and you cant talk to anyone about it. I'm trying to change my diet by juicing and cutting out gluten and sugar and any processed foods. I'm praying for a miracle for us.
