hi bebegirl¤,
I've moved your question to the Health forum
Ketones are produced by the liver, and circulate in the blood. They are excreted from the body mainly in urine by the kidneys, and also in bile via the bowels, and in our breath via the lungs.
Your best way to ensure less ketone-excretion from the lungs/breath is by drinking lots and lots of water, and eating high-fiber vegetables. This will cause the ketones to be eliminated more in the urine and bowel.
As a RN, I can assure you that good hygiene is the best cure for any "general" body odour problems .. and that goes for women AND men. If you notice a foul odour or discharge, it's likely due to infection, and best to get thee to a dr to have it checked out. You may notice that your urine smells "stronger" when you go to the bathroom .. drinking lots and lots of water to keep things diluted and flushed out should solve that.
Hope this helps
Doreen
