Hello everyone...
I've had this issue on and off for years. It's so frustrating thinking finally it's gone and then it comes back within months. It's just so hard dealing with this at work too, all the ridicule and humiliation while knowing you're not actually dirty but it's a medical condition that doctors can't seem to figure out.
I think I've found out what's causing it though.
Normal constipation that resolves itself in a few short days is fine. When it gets severe maybe lasting more than 4 days I think that effects body odor. Sweating especially stress sweat makes it smell worse but the body odor still has a fecal smell regardless. And if you're dehydrated you're more likely to sweat.
I've been looking back on all the times I've had the worst reactions and it was always after eating a horrible diet then getting constipated from it. Junk foods, fast food, red meat, soda instead of water, etc.
Does anyone else with FBO deal with frequent constipation or incomplete emptying?
