Sweet smelling urine/skin

A few weeks ago, I posted about the palms of my hands smelling sweet like hush puppies. It hasn't been a bother, but I've also noticed recently that my urine also smells sweet. Kind of like hush puppies. It's so weird.

I did a little bit of research and only horrible things are coming up: Diabetes, lactic acidosis, and more.

Has ANYONE else had this? Is this a lyme thing? I will be bringing it up to my doctor on Thursday. I'm trying to detox as much as possible and drinking more water.

Thanks!

Hi 10LymeB -

Looking back, sweet-smelling and hops or yeast-smelling urine was one of the yeast/fungal sx for me. It could also be one of the other issues you listed (diabetes, lactic acidosis).

Does your breath also smell sweet - like grape gum of juice?

If you have already ruled out yeast/fungal overgrowth (have you read the long y/f post below?) then you might talk w/ your MD about your sx.

Yes, I have both FO and I had a bad case of tinea. I'm currently finishing up sporonox for the tinea and I took a round of Nystatin for the FO. I don't think either have cleared up completely.

My diet is very clean. No sugar, no wheat, no dairy and I'm trying to incorporate more home cooked vegetables and less take out. It's been hard because cooking is difficult for me.

If you think you still have y/f sx, you need to take more Nystatin - maybe even a systemic antifungal. Look through that thread I posted.

You might also incorporate a good GI binder - mine is strong enough that it helps keep the yeast/fungus from growing. At the very least, it helps flush what you're killing to reduce reactions to the toxins.
