Acne, IBS, BO - all related

Three things I suffer from: IBS-D, Acne, Body Odor

All these started at the same time and I think they are related. It started AFTER puberty, as an adult.

Sure, body odor is normal but to have an armpit smell like a construction worker 2 hours of inactivity after shower is not normal.

My body odor is worse when my acne is worse. I have acne all the time but it gets worse once a month - my wife says I have my period!!!

I have learned to live with my IBS-D but to be an office working adult with acne and body odor is quite stressful.

Anyway, can anyone help with this? I know it's a long shot....none of my doctors makes the correlation.
 
Interesting! I am wondering if you need a body detox perhaps? There are products you can take that clean your digestive system and colon, and also natural ways to "detox" your body. Given you might be pretty hungry for a few days there are certain vegetables you can make into tasty shakes and what not so you still get essential nutrients, but cleansing at the same time. Also to consider is that certain fooRAB you eat can trigger all three of these symptoms. Perhaps keep a log of fooRAB, spices, drinks along with when your symptoms are worse and maybe you can rule out what might be causing it.
 
haole you have IBS because the inner terrain of your gut has been compromised likely because of antibiotics you've taken in the past. You need to take probiotics to replace the friendly bacteria that died.
Your acne and BO is likely from your food. Give up dairy especially milk for 3 weeks and you will see an improvement. Also cut down on chemicals in food like food colorings, msg, aspartame and any food with preservatives.
Give up sugar as much as possible.
 
I've tried all that you've suggested and I can now confidently say that you are wrong or thinking about someone else.

My IBS, acne, and BO symptoms are all related to STRESS. Now I just have to figure out how to reduce it and deal with it. Not an easy task.

Thanks!
