some kind of mushroom
Does anybody else smell mushrooms in their sinuses? I'm really starting to think this is a mushroom that has colonized our skin, and particularly the scalp. Mushrooms send out mycelium which act as a sort of communication system for them, could be extremely fine threads that cause the irritation in other people. These mycelium are " a fungus or fungus-like bacterial colony" (from Wikipedia). Mushrooms also produce the following as by-products: heat, ammonia, and carbon dioxide. In my case, I will get extremely hot body temp for a few minutes at a time. I also have medical test (blood test) showing high ammonia production. Also, I feel an almost effervescent feeling in different parts of my body, almost like being shot with carbonated water (which is water with carbon dioxide bubbles) . Starting to think it is some extremely pathogenic mushroom...

This post menyions mushrooms
I became very ill starting around December 2010, about 3 weeks after I had a root canal. That could have been coincidence, but I think it might have been the start for all this. I had flu symptoms over the next 9 months including, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, stomach pain under the lower part of my left rib radiating to my back, etc.. I saw numerous MDs and a G.I. Specialist at Loyola. The G.I. Specialist did an upper G.I., a lower G.I., camera pill, and breath test, along with numerous blood tests for Celiac, etc.. During the upper G.I. she said that the cilia in my sm. intestines was blunted and looked like mushrooms. She said the camera pill went through me too fast to see what she wanted to capture. On 9/14/11 I got an actual stomach flu from my kids and my Mom decided to rush me to the Loyola ER since that was where I did all of the testing and my G.I. Specialist was there. They admitted me that night and reviewed the breath test, which I had taken a few weeks before. I was diagnosed with SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). They asked me if I had been to another country or if I had surgery on my bowel and I said no. They gave me Xifaxin 550mg to kill the bacteria and I slowly started to get better. I had lived with the bacteria for 9 months. During that 9 months I lost 75 pounds and became very weak. I was a size 14 and now a size 2. The G.I. Specialist told me it could have been a one time thing or could be a chronic issue due to another underlying issue, like Crohns. Since I was diagnosed I've had a few recurrences and was given the same medicine. Since then I haven't been able to gain much weight back and remain weak and frail. I still get that same pain on the left side. At the end of February this year, I started to take a probiotic in an attempt to rebuild my gut. 2 days after taking the probiotic I woke up and was in excruciating pain in my left side. My husband took me to the ER, where they gave me pain meds and called my G.I. MD. She told them to give me the Xifaxin once again. I still have this pain on my left side and it radiates to my back. I've started to see a holistic MD who put me on a strict diet and gave me vitamins to slowly rebuild gut. He said he thinks I have "leaky gut". At this point I'm having days where I'm in a lot of pain on that left side, no vomiting, but some diarrhea. Now I've lost more weight and am at my lowest, 112. I'm starting to get worried and am afraid of another organ failing due to my body not absorbing any of the nutrients and just being weak. I had a deeper scope upper G.I. the middle of May and nothing was found. They also tested me for the pancreas and many other things, but they said everything comes back ok. At this point, I have no appetite, pain on my left side just below my rib radiating to my back, where it's a numbing tingling pain. I also have sore muscles in my legs like as if I was dehydrated and am weak and fatigued. If you have any ideas I would be very appreciative to hear.http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Gastroenterology/GI-problems-SIBO---Small-Intestinal-Bacteria-Overgrowth-and-pain-in-left-side/show/1977637

Do you ever smell a faint mushroomy smell in your sinuses?
I was diagnosed with SIBO too (Cedars Sinai) but Rifaxmin did nothng to help.
My pain is in upper right quadrant, different side than yours but the small intestines are on both sides so mushrooms could be on either side...

Hello,
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism last year (2014). I was prescribed medication along with diet change and vitamins/supplements. I have recently noticed a body odor coming from me. Even after 2 showers and 2 hair washing people can still smell the odor. The odor travels so well, that people seem to smell it when Im driving in my car with all the windows rolled up. I know this is rare condition (whatever it may be) and my doctor has referred me to an endocrine specialist. I also have intense stomach pain as well. I want this doctor to take me seriously. Can anyone direct me to what questions to ask or the best way to inform this doctor of my body odor issues and concerns?
Thank you. If you have any questions or need further details please let me know.
