Unknown Body Odor

Are you still having problems with the odor??? I have it too and sometimes o can get it under control

Yes i have experienced the same thing we need to talk. I struggled with this condition most of my life! I've narrowed it down to dietary things and using aluminum free deodorant. But i cannot drink any caffeine or drink alcohol...if i do i will stink for 24 to 48 hours. And this is with showering...the bo will go past the soaps and deodorants!! It is a nightmare. Please let me know how you are doing.. My name is Sean

@deprest i have this too any updates?

I don't know about unknown body odor but I learned of a deodorant my new husband uses. Tussy cream, original scent, the cream in a tub. Amazon. Smells like cloves. He said he never has break through odor during the day anymore. I avoided creams always because I thought they seemed gross. My friend told me that many years ago that Tussy was sold in high end dept stores. Surprised me. Takes very little and goes on dry. Buy the red tub version for the clove scent and dry application. Have never found in stores. I have had people tell me I smell good.

That’s because they lying to them because they not real enough to be honest unlike strangers they don’t care they gone let you know that’s why it’s causing so much confusion and doctors just don’t want go further in helping so they lie

What doctor to see if I want to be tested for tmau

Please try gluten free diet for at least 6 months. Gluten is a culprit which damages the intestine tissues and can result in many related symptoms. I have suffered with this for 8+ years i know how it feels (had been through severe depression), and now 100% odor free since 4 years after going gluten free. Came back to post on a forum so it helps everyone. Don't give up there is solution 🙂 I have read every forum tried all deodrant and medications, been to every doctor and have been falsely diagnosed with IBS, Hemorrhoids , done Colonscopy and tons of other blood test which were normal, celiac test also came out negative but i was gluten free for a year and did test to confirm if it was celiac.

Go gluten free and you will find cure, reduce stress if possible relocate to new place change your environment.

If you've got time read these books

Joseph Murphy - The Power of Your Subconscious Mind
Viktor E. Frankl on the Meaning of Life

go gluten free.

Hello everyone!I really need help figuring out what’s going on with me. I have impeccable hygiene! But, I smell horrible at all times! Most common odor is of sweaty socks. What’s weird is that my feet don’t smell at all. I can smell the odor around my nose. The crease of my nose to be exact.The odor would get worse depending on my diet. But, it doesn’t matter what I eat, I smell. The odor is very strong. I don’t consume dairy because the odor would get worse, and I get a fecal/poop/sewage odor.I’m not sure if these odors are coming from my stomach. I had endoscopy done, perfect oral health, tonsils removed, tmau test was negative. I was positive for Sibo only. No matter what I do, I smell bad, musty. I take 2 showers a day, scrub, use antibacterial soaps etc, nothing helps.I know is coming from inside of me. I constantly smell like cheese. I don’t have any parasites, fungus or anything else that could be possibly be causing this. I can’t take the embarrassment anymore. People don’t understand that is a health condition, not that I’m a dirty person. My hormones are fine, within range. I have notice that close to my ovulation the odor would decrease somewhat, and very rarely I get one good day where people don’t complaint about the smell. I have narrow it down to be close to my ovulation day. I really don’t know what else to do. I have visited, endocrinologist, ENTs, Gastros, functional doctors, dentists, Obgyns.
