Suffering from a bad smell

I am suffering from a smell that I have not been able to lose for over 9 years now.  I have no idea what it is, because I can't notice it. But everywhere I go, people cover their nose or change seats.  I can't work in an office for too long without causing noticeable discomfort for the people around me.  Now I teach, but if I am in a small room with my students I feel very sorry for them. Also, most students don't sit in the front row with me teaching, but many do for other teachers.

I have tried all kinds of things to get rid of the smell. Originally I thought I had bad B.O. under my armpits, so I tried powerful deodorant - but that did not work. I changed my diet several times, did fasting, colon cleansing, herbs, teas, you name it - but all no effect. I even did a colonoscomy but it turned up nothing.  Doctors who I have talked to really don't know what to say when I am brave enough to mention my symptoms.

I have done lots of internet research about what I could have, but I can't narrow it down all by myself. I have heard that some people are unable to break down certain chemicals and thus produce foul smells.  Others might have bad bacteria or fungus in their stomach (but I doubt it's this because I've tried everything to fight that).  I have even heard of leaking gas from IBS, which could also be me. Oral infections, etc.  The trouble with all of my findings is that when I talk to a doctor about it, they don't know what to diagnose or test for. All I get is just general advice like eat well, exercise, and stay away from certain foods or drinks.

Can anyone help lead me to a right direction?

Do i know you, are you a doctor? im relaying either personal experience or the experience of others, you have no idea. the benefits of this soda to the human body is enormous, there are people out there who need all the advise they can get and there is no harm in this formula, the last thing people need on this forum is someone like you who is obviously putting people down, remember everyone to themselves hey.

hi, i would recommend you mix 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate baking soda in 375ml glass of tapwater, drink one glass every two days for two weeks, this formula has been tried with great results, hope it works for you, cheers.

Have you tried the Lemonade diet.  I would give that a chance; This diet is completely different from any other diet I have ever tried.  Let me know if you would like to try it. I will email you the booklet so that you can do the diet.
