OK. So I'm a former football player, 6'2 330 who for the life of me still smells like a locker room 3 years later. Before the jokes roll in, I shower 2-3 times a day, brush my teeth 3 times a day, use deodorant and anti sweat sticks and sprays and defiantly wipe correctly. Its not always stuck on me but I notice wherever I workout, or get any form of physical activity I start to perspire, heavily. This isn't your typical drip, this is forehead dripping, pits blackened, sweating from my belly. Its gotten to the point that I don't like wearing any Grey sweatpants (have to wear because A.I wear a huge knee brace B. I have disgusting leg) to the gym because about 10 minutes on the treadmill I look like I'ved peed myself. Worse in still is I live in a beach community and once spring comes I'm the guy you don't want to dance with at the club because you might slip in a puddle. Also I eat a lot of protein, onions, and popcorn; which leaves me with gas that only I can handle; trust me not even my friends dogs stay in the room. I've cut back on onions and red meat but its still god awful.
So my questions are these: I know I'm big, I know I'm going to sweat, is there a product out there that someone has used that has cured similar issues? Also are there any pills that can reduce gas or help with the stench?

The gas I can help you with. The product is called 'Beano'. Let me get back to you about the sweating after I do some research, darkthrill.

Your body sweats excessively because it's trying to get rid of the toxins - ditto with the gas - I don't think you should be taking tablets for your sweating or gas - sorry, but you need to be eating differently.
What you put in it comes out - so stop completely with the onions and red meat already! Leafy green vegetables, lean meats, lots of filtered water (not sweet fizzy drinks). Not too much booze either.
It sounds as if you need to SERIOUSLY de-tox. I can't recommend anything specific - because you need to speak to someone professional - see a really good naturopath or homeopath - and have them tailor a program according to your needs.
A lot of people recommend colonic irrigation to begin the detoxing process - I've done it and found it good - but you will have to make up your own mind.
Of course the other thing is that some people, naturally, sweat more than others - my husband has been vegetarian for umpteen years, doesn't drink much, doesn't smoke - but put him in the tropics and he's Mr. Super Sweaty.
So, bear in mind that some sweating you may have to put up with!
