What Causes Constipation And Bad Body Odor In A Diabetic Patient?

I am a 41 year old, 4”11 150 lbs., Type I-Diabetic who exercise; eat a clean diet not lots of greasy/fatty foods. My most recent A1C was 7.2 and I am a patient at UPMC in Pittsburgh PA. While under the care of a Cardio Thorastic doctor I was scoped (beneign) and it was necessary to do a stretch and dilation which has provided some relief for sleeping flat and not coughing non-stop throughout the day. I have been provided diagnosis by medical professionals: I have GERD, Gastroparesis, negative for H Pylori, Small Bowel Blockage, inflammation in my stomach (when scoped twice) daily constipation, passing gas and breath that smells of horrible farts daily. I have been researching a few remedies using ACV (apple cider vinegar) probiotics (Good Karma from Whole Foods), extra virgin pine nut oil, sea buckthorn oil ) none of which really help. However, I am getting a BAD unexplainable body odor and I have excellent hygiene and clean clothes. I recently did a fast and noticed almost an allergic reaction to dairy, lentils, lemon and breads. Not only have I seen this specialist but also 3 Gastroenterologist as suggested, Endocryologist and an upcoming appointment with a Rheumotologist. Based on my current findings and medical issues are there any suggestions that would help me resolve my BB and BO? Thanks!

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Diabetes has a more severe late complication , NEUROPATHY. Nerves which are damaged won't heal fast. Due to lack of nerve supply,your intestines are stagnating the food, leading to constipation. That causes bad smell in mouth too. Decayed food in stomach.
Reduce your blood sugar level , and have an appointment with Diabetologist and neurologist. Get well soon.
