I’m going through the same exact thing.. I don’t even understand where’s the smell is coming from.. it’s embarrassing because my husband or kids say they don’t smell it but outside people do.. I even heard people say it smells like doo doo.. I lost my job from people making fun of me so I can’t even work I have to stay home like I’m crazy.. my doctor think it’s GERD I don’t know where the smell is coming from but I pray 1 day it just goes away this is the most embarrassing feeling in my life..

Same problem what is this I mean 😢 it’s embarrassing.. my husband says I don’t have a smell but everybody in public think I smell really bad.. I go to the doctor office or dentist people are like ewww I smell doo doo or what’s that smell putting up there shirt to their nose I started to go off but I just kept my kool like I was thinking about mental health because I needed someone to talk to I don’t even have anyone to even talk to I think people say I don’t smell anything to not make you feel bad but I went to the emergency room once and a doctor smelled it and told me that she smelled my stomach that my food wasn’t digesting correctly and that she can also smell my bowl but my doctor told me it could be GERD so check into that because your not alone I’m going through the same symptoms..

Have you been on a weight loss journey. As I lost weight, toxins stored in fat cells released. I had strange body odor for a few months before it finally got better. When it first started, I didn’t know what it was. Finally figured it out.

I have been going through the same thing for over 7 years. I only recenyly sought medical expertise and the doctor also suggested that I was making it up, that its phycological. I struggle with, social anxiety, low self esteem and deprrssion because of it. I stayed at home for a year barely going anywhere. I had no choice but to go out to work now, I used to work from home but thats not an option anymore and yes its the same reactions even back in school. I did some research and came up on this term olfactory hallucinations body odor. All that I read added up to what the doctor suggested however it doesnt explain why when I'm around other people, they plug their noses or wipe their noses or smell their own armpits. Their actions suggest what the doctor claims isn't happening. I have tried every deodorant, antipersirant, medications even natural remedies nothing works I don't know what to do anymore.

there is an old person's smell. i have it. using anti bacterial soap helps.

Okay I will try that thank you for the advice.

“Olfactory reference syndrome (ORS), preoccupation with a false belief that one emits a foul or offensive body odor, has been described around the world for more than a century. However, only a few small studies have systematically assessed ORS's clinical features.”

I didn’t see anyone mention that they saw a therapist or a counselor concerning this interesting illness. I’m not saying anyone crazy especially with all the responses but cover all the bases especially when regular medical channels have been exhausted. Also, consider a naturopathic doctor too.
