I have had this problem for many years, I have told doctors my problem but always tell me that it is my teeth or foods that I eat or other things. No one has been able to help me. This problem has given me a lot of pain and loneliness. I have even thought of ending my life but I am too scared to really do it but it has come to my mind a lot of times. I no longer go out very much & only go to some family functions and only for a little while. Every time that I eat, no matter what kind of food, even cereal, I smell like that food & later smell like I released gas but I know that I did not fart. I always hear people around me say who farted. I try to change the subject and say I don't know but I know it is me. Even at work, people say things that hurt. I want to know if there is an opening to my stomach that makes me smell so bad. I feel that it is smells from my stomach. I have thought about this but never researched if this is possible. I say this because I always smell different. One time, a lady said it smelled like a drunk person which I knew it was me and I don't even drink. I take daily showers, wear deodorant, brush my teeth, wear clean clothes everyday and am a clean person. This has effected my life so badly. Please help!
You body may be missing a certain enzyme that is necessary for a certain food group eg. meat, mushrooms, etc. When food is not digested properly it can remain in the gut area where it will become putrid....also very unhealthy too, the result is gas, fermentation and toxins which the body will try to get rid of through different portals in your body, such as your skin and it can also be carried on your breath.
You need to be tested to see if you are missing an enzyme(s) and which type is missing. There is enzyme therapy available for people with this problem. Whether it will totally eliminate your body odor problem I do not know and it may also involve avoidance of certain foods too and drinking more water...filtered water. Different types of food require different enzymes.
Most of us have food preferences like eating potatoes or bread or drinking lots of milk and usually we consume more of our favorites.....even craving them. An example: For some reason (and I don't know exactly why) our bodies will actually crave the very foods that we are allergic to ....like foods containing wheat. I am allergic to wheat or any plant from the grass family, I am unable to metabolize a certain protein they contain. It is very annoying to say the least when you keep having cravings for what you shouldn't be eating. My reaction is inflammation throughout my body. This is not the same as what you have described therefore I do not think it is an allergy.
You might find it interesting, even enlightening, to keep a daily record for a few weeks of each and every food or drink that you consume each day. As each kind of food requires a certain enzyme it may reveal which enzyme(s) you are missing.
I would consider seeing a naturopath who is knowledgeable about this disorder if you do not get results from your doctor. I hope this info is of help to you.:)
