Guest guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I thought I've seen this discussed before.... my son's teacher pulled me aside today and told me my 5 yr old has a strange odor... a 'sour smell'. Even kids are starting to notice and she's concerned about him socially. Talk about feeling like a bad mom.. like I have my kid in dirty clothes or don't bathe him or whatever, which isn't true at all. The bad part is I can't smell a thing. nothing. I've sniffed him all over and can't smell a thing - even his breath wasn't bad. He's been on SCD for 15 months and is in remission from UC. He had a bad flare this summer that was likely due to yeast overgrowth as he overloaded on raw fruit just prior to the flare. He's doing great now, but is sensitive to legal sugars and I have to watch him carefully... his teacher said his cheese went rancid (for snack) and she gave him a banana last Friday. I bet money it wasn't ripe enough - he had a pimple butt the next day and 'floaties' but has been fine ever since, but could this odor be a die off thing? Or can SCD do this? Am I watching his carbs too closely and this is a ketosis thing? I'm so freaked out about this... Robbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
