I use dove soap, yes it's wonderful but the problem I have is odor. I have had very bad odor for a number of years since I have started IC. I first started over 18 years ago. I spoke to my Dr.s and they have no clue. Do you hear from patients that have very bad odor with their IC? Any help will be appreciated. It's very upsetting when my clients say you smell it's pretty mind blowing any comments or help
Thanks
Claire

Hi Claire - Not that I'm an expert but I did watch an episode on mystery diagnosis of this women who had a musty odor and struggled greatly with it. It had something to do with her body not being able to break down certain foods. I know eggs in particualy would make it worse. If she avoided these foods the odor would go away. Not sure if it's the same thing but it's worth looking into.
