Health - 26 December 2006

I have some type of body odor. I shower every day, and I'm one of the cleanest people you'll ever meet. But everyday, I get looks from strangers as if I smell or something. I asked a family member, and they said I smell okay, and people look at me like that because I'm so pretty, but I'm not stupid. I know there's something. I'm not sexually active. I was raped when I was younger, but they checked me out for everything then. Any advice?

I sometimes have a gurgling stomach after I eat dinner, and flagalence is at the surface oftentimes as well. This is a problem because I'm dating someone pretty seriously and I hate always hearing my stomach gurgle and having to hold in gas. She just laughs and asks if I'm still hungry (which I'm not...it's my stomach dealing with the food I've already eaten). Is there any basic meds out there that would help w/ this problem? Doesn't pretty much every guy have this problem to some extent or another? It's not like I have serious intestinal issues or anything, but it just seems to be a problem more often than not.

What bad things come from eating flour? What good things? I am kind of a health freak and I like to eat healthy, but i don't know if eating flour is good. What does it have to do with weight gain? Will it make me gain more weight? Does it stay in my body?

My grandfather has shingles. He's not sure if it is contagious or not, but he is coming over to exchange Christmas presents. I, being a "germaphob", and FREAKING OUT because I can't get sick, especially now. My mom says I won't get it if I stay in my room while he's here. But when I come out, he could have touched something and I can get the disease, right? I've never had chicken pox, and a HAVE had the vaccination. (10 years ago I had it) Can I get shingles?

I DON'T, but I was just wondering why they say you can't. I have no diseases other than diabetes (been tested) and they say you should never re-use a needle. I never have, but I was wondeirng the reasoning behind this.
