Does anyone else feel/smell gross? How do I sort out by microbiome?

[Loka123]

I just hate feeling so gross.. flatulence smelling of rotten eggs, cheesy smelling residue behind my ears, halitosis, vaginal odour, armpit odour, if I scratch my scalp, greasy residue appears under my nails (but hair is very dry), skin has lots of dirty grey residue if I scratch at it.

I feel it is likely to be my microbiome that's causing it. I eat fairly healthy (high protein, fairly low carb and medium sugar intake)..

I know it could be the sugar but tons of people eat more sugar/meat than me and aren't smelling bad.

I drink a lot of water each day, never have soda/crisps, etc. and shower daily. What else can I do? :( Anyone have any personal experience? Everyone always looks and smells fresh as daisies (especially other women)... :(

Thanks so far everyone.

The microbiome in a bottle (mother dirt) sounds good but had a look online and can't find any info on how permanent it is or whether it needs to be continually topped up.

@aintnothinbutagstring I was tested a year ago and the results came back as no for diabetes. I am fairly young (mid-20s) and on the lower end of "healthy" BMI.

Kefir is another option I've tried which helps immensely with some symptoms but they reappear if I stop taking it. Taking it long term seems to cause nausea I think (not quite sure if there is a definitive correlation or coincidence yet)

Increase your flora and fauna

Anyone else imagining tiny zebras and elephants etc. galloping over someone’s body?

@CockleburIck

It's a shame we can't see them- we'd be better at looking after them!

Re topping up, basically it should be self sustaining if you don't interfere with it. So you'd use the spray for a period of time, be careful to only wash with suitable products (maybe just water?) and then top up if you need to later.

Maybe you could go down to using kefir once a week, when the nausea kicks in?

I eat as many "live" foods as I can, and after reading this thread I'm going to go and wash my hair and face with my live yogurt too. Yogurt and honey makes a good hair mask and I have both in!

Live yogurt is often suggested to help thrush, so I'd say we can apply it anywhere to reset the balance!
