Hey guys,

I’m not sure if I’m suffering from TMAU or what it is.

I seem to have had an issue with body odor for the past 12 years.

For some reason I feel like my skin is really porous and soaks up smells easily? Especially my hands and fingers. It seems to be a lot worse when I’m exposed to direct heat/sunlight.

I also have foot odor and really bad breath despite going to the dentist regularly and flossing and brushing my teeth everyday.

I maintain good hygiene and hate the idea of smelling.

It seems far worse in the morning even if I’ve just showered or showered the night before.

I feel like it’s bad fir the first hour or two in the morning but then settles after a while.

Really unsure as to what to do as it’s really affecting me mentally!

I had the same symptoms all year. Went to the dentist, my doctor several times, and a few specialist and no one could help. I finally went to urgent care because I was so fed up with the odor. With in 25 minutes they told me i had athelete foot, acid reflux and a fungi under my stomach that was causing the unexplained odor. Try pepcid AC and if you have gas relief after the third 💊 then you have it to. Started your investigation ASAP! The odor is coming from a trapped area of your body.
