I also get extra "odor" in the "pits" when herxing...but, for me it is usually the right side.
Glad to see that someone else found this to be helpful...and brought it up and.
I so love discussing the finer points of this illness.

Are you sure you are not just using "Right Gurard"???
Actually I too have noticed this problem. Arm and Hammer with baking soda seems to work the best. The odor is die off and can be minimized by dilution, in other words drinking more water.
It can also be a side effect of ketosis, or a low carb diet, when the body burns ketones (protine) instead of carbs for energy it creates a "different" odor that is "more pungent".

PS avoid wool it tends to hold in the odors

I just had to bring this thread up. I can't stop laughing...........
I can't make up my mind if "farting the Lyme out", "don't wear wool in winter", "cat left the room with the air freshner and littler box" wins the award.
After Tincup's great GROIN post, I thought of this one.

Poor Trout's Toots are still tattled about a year and half later. Those are some kind of poweful emissions to linger so long.
My spousal unit, who must be close in the same league of American Room Clearers, has finally fired back at the problem... can't tolerate onions. Notorious little beasties. Can always tell when he snuck some in his lunch when I wasn't looking.
Now... NO comments on my name! Come on, behave yourself... it wouldn't be polite now would it.... I remain, demurely, StinkBug the Canadian

Well, I'm an "oldbie," but here's another.
You know that song, "We're Having A Party"? I think it's by Gary U.S. Bonds. Well, I have changed the words to:
"We're having a FARTY. Everybody's STINKIN'...."
This is one of my theme songs, unfortunately. I, too, still suffer from the Flatulence Fandango.

I, too, am a sufferer of Embarrassing Lyme Die Off Flatulence Syndrome (ELDOF), a challenging battle that is at times lonely, and other times smelly. Even though this syndrome doesn't exist because I just made it up, I still have it.
This is of course not to be confused with its sister syndrome PELDOF (Public Embarrassing Lyme Die Off Flatulence Syndrome) which has struck so many in our society. And I mean literally.
Both syndromes can be characterized by a multitude of fart-types that exhibit unique and special quantitave and qualitative differences.
...Oh, I could go on, but I'd better not . . .
So my theory is that since we have all sorts of creatures living in us...bacterias, spirochetes, parasites, every time we upset the balance it causes die-off and hence gas.
Also, die-off causes neurotoxin emission, which in turn (and as with all toxins), our bodies are designed to excrete out through the bowel. Since the bowel is all about flora AND has the job of excretion, things can get pretty farty when this happens. Yes, the toxins have a farty party.
I also read something just yesterday that said that 60 percent of our body's immunity is involved with the bowel. Whoa.
This makes sense to me, as I've studied a bit about colon health the past few years. If we're gonna kill these little buggers, we have to make sure that their toxins can get OUT of our bodies, so optimal bowel function is crucial.
If you don't get the toxins out of your bowel, there is a chance that they will sit there, stagnate, and then get RE-ABSORBED by your body. AAAAAUGH!!!! People have poisoned themselves this way because their bodies were so compromised they couldn't detox properly.
So I signed myself up for a series of colonics which granted are not quite the funnest thing in the world, but I did notice that after my first one my ...uh...."ELDOF" went away.
Also a bowel cleanse is such a good thing to do...the one I do involves taking the charcoal/bentonite clay mixture that basically acts as an intestinal vacuum. It's awesome.

Suggestion: Try giving yourself an enema first thing in the morning... Use luke warm water no chemicals. Clear out the overnight stuff... Laxatives are not good too many harsh chemicals... Plus drink lots of water....
Problem could be caused by a lack of the good ecoli bugs in the large intestine. Some health food stores (GNC)have capsules that will help fix the missing good bugs. Smell your poop. If it smells like a dead cat then something could be wrong... If it smells like normal poop then probably not enough ecoli bugs.. Plus get a "check for blood test" from the local pharmacy or your PCP. Of course some spicy foods in excess (pizza) can cause this problem.. God Bless Tj
