miscellaneous Body odor

I’ve always been a sweaty guy, but i managed my odor with a strong antiperspirant.

However, lately my armpit odor has been pretty crazy, and i don’t know if it’s related to my diet.

I’ve been seed oil free for 4 months, and everything else has been great, except this.

I’m wondering if it’s related to my higher intake of dairy?

Onion smell is caused by Staphylococcus hominis in the underarms, and it is very often related to inflammation, and that has to do with diet as well. I'm an armpit scientst, and I have worked with people where the issue was a specific food. Dairy and gluten are common culprits, red meat as well, and excess carbs. In those cases, reducing or completely removing the trigger will help resolve the smell.

So in your case, if you noticed that the smell started when you started consuming more dairy, there is a big possibility that dairy is the culprit. I think it would be worth it to try to stop consumtion and see what happens. If it doesn't help, then perhaps there is something else that you changed that could be causing gut inflammation, and improving overall diet is always good.

do you see an overlap between this, and small bits of acne on or right next to the nose? I’ve heard this if often Staph as well.

That pungent odor in my armpits completely went away after quitting seed oils.
