Unexplained body Odor

Posted by unique30 @unique30, Dec 2, 2022

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.

Have you had your liver checked? I heard about a young man in the U.K. who had a body odor problem caused by problems with his liver. (His odor was that of fresh, hot urine but maybe they're related to yours?) Anyway good luck; hope for the best for you.

He/She mentions that the smell is like shit, not urine smell, and if he/she has done all the tests and they are negative, it means that the problem is functional, do an electromyography of the pelvic floor, your muscles are failing.

My spouse had an odor and it is believed due to cirrhosis of liver. His doctor, teaching another, pointed this out during exam.
