r/bodyodor

HI, wanted to share some information that I have found through research and personal experience for my Tmau diagnosis that has been extremely helpful! The doctor says I have secondary TMAU. I have fecal body and breath odor only, that I know of. I can’t smell myself… I think my breath smells a lot better as well as my body odor, once I get my diet etc under control…

The number one hack I think that could be a HUGE HELP TO A LOT of people…. and it sounds ridiculous but if you crave bad Tmau trigger food, chewing those foods and spitting it out works for me. If you think of it like chewing gum, if you get that sugar taste on your tounge for a good bit, then the craving is pretty much gone lol... so if I just have a bad craving for cake or a Whataburger avocado burger etc lol, I’ll just chew it real good and spit it out until I’m done with the whole burger or the craving is gone, Then I eat my regular Tmau diet food lol. It may not work for everyone but it works for me lol. I’m not throwing anything up, I just simply satisfy my taste buds and then I’m done with it. It is a lifesaver when I just can’t help the cravings.

But AI has been my best friend with my diet etc also. I have been diagnosed with secondary TMAU for about 26 years. I do OK with my diet except on my hormone days. I’m a female, but I had a hysterectomy so I don’t get my cycle, but I still get the spike in odor during hormone days though. Normally before I started these products, I just do my normal activated charcoal, vitamin B, two, probiotics and HUM nutrition digestive enzymes to help me break down the food s few times a day. I don’t take them all together, I have to space some of them out. I wasn’t doing it consistently so, I could take a shower and have to retake a shower within an hour and a half… that is my baseline even when I eat some bad foods. But now I can pretty much go all day without showering or at least about 8 to 10 hours. That’s huge for me because I’m around people a good bit.

ONE HUGE FACTOR THAT I HAVE FIGURED OUT THAT IS A TRIGGER SO TO SPEAK IS THAT IF I AM CONSTIPATED AND DON’T USE THE BATHROOM FOR ABOUT TWO DAYS, I WILL SMELL NO MATTER HOW GOOD I EAT, AND THE GLYCOLIC ACID SPRAYS, THE CITRIC ACID BATHS ETC. WILL WORK SOMEWHAT, BUT ONLY FOR SHORTER PERIODS OF TIME. AGAIN, EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT AND YOU MAY BE ABLE TO EAT WHAT YOU WANT AND SPRAY THE STUFF ON AND IT DOESN’T COME THROUGH YOUR SKIN OR BREATH BUT, I DON’T THINK SO THOUGH LOL, I THINK THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO USE THE LACTULOSE POWDER OR SYRUPY AS A LAXATIVE AND MAYBE OTHER LAXATIVES OR STOOL SOFTENERS TO GET THE OLD FOOD OUT WITHIN A DAY IF POSSIBLE… BUT THE LACTULOSE ALSO HELPS WITH GUT BACTERIA AND IT IS STUDIED BY RESEARCHERS SPECIFICALLY FOR TMAU, IS WHAT I FOUND ON THE INTERNET.

I got tested over 20 years ago after pushback from my doctor (he was very rude), I called the Director and he made the doctor order the test for me. They sent me to a local hospital to test me. They tested my blood and urine and sent it to Dr. Prettie’s lab. I think he was in the US but I’m not sure…

I don’t eat red meat anymore. I stopped making that mistake figured that moment of pleasure isn’t worth it AT ALL. I normally just eat chicken, rice, potatoes, squash, green beans, gluten-free pasta with Rao’s sensitive sauce with no onions, etc. I use or avocado oil for cooking, etc. with no soy in either I eat grits. I eat plain oatmeal with fruit and a tad bit of sugar. Surprisingly Grits and oatmeal are better With olive oil to me than butter. I use BRAGGS nutritional yeast in one of those shaker bottles to mimic cheese flavor. I use coconut AMINOS as a soy sauce alternative in food. It’s not all that good to me, but it maybe to someone else , but I guess it’s better than soy sauce, I’ve only tried it once. I use a tablespoon of Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles in my grits or egg WHITE omelette. It doesn’t have all the additives in it of all the other turkey sausage products that I found…. One big thing that I did not know is that the egg whites in the carton that you buy out of stores says that it may have traces of egg yolk in there or at least that’s what AI says, and I can believe it too because how do you not get any yolk in there With all of those eggs… I think its kind of hard to do. I just thought that I could not eat egg whites, but it turns out that I can if I make my own egg whites… so that’s been a big help. For my convenience When I vegetables when I don’t feel like chopping up a bunch of vegetables, I use birds Eye Mediterranean steamfresh in the bag, And take the frozen onions out first before they thaw so the onion juice doesn’t get on the other vegetables,… it only has red pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, and red onion, but I absolutely take the frozen onion out and then cook it in a pot. I do not eat onions or Garlic even though AI says that you can with TMAU…. The sulfur in the onions 🧅 and garlic can definitely make me smell. But I think some people can eat onions but I always check and ask AI about the sulfur in foods because it can come out of peoples skin and intensify TMAU. I guess the key is asking AI what is good for Tmau And asking if there are any other food triggers or ingredients that would make you smell… but testing it out yourself maybr because AI is not always right. I think Claude is best…., because Google AI has not been right about simple Tmau foods When suggesting products…. And I have Had to correct it more than a few times and then it will say oh, I’m sorry lol… that oops is not good for TMAU… If I had listened to it a few times It could’ve sent me back for a whole week, etc. I guess double check behind any AI chat because they are not always right. Check multiple sources.

So as far as my bathing products and dietary supplements, I’ve found a lot of helpful stuff. This is what I really wanted to share that I did not know existed. Everybodys condition and tolerances are different so you’ll have to see what works for you…

I just found after using AI something that specifically helps alter your gut bacteria for TMAU that was researched for TMAU called lactulose. It is a syrup and they also have the powder form In packets. I’m waiting on Walmart to get my prescription in now. They don’t often carry the powder kind. Both kinds are sweet, but the syrup kind is supposed to be sweeter. I could’ve gotten the liquid syrup kind, but I didn’t want that syrup form...but AI says that the sugar does not hardly digest at all or it doesnt digest at all. I don’t know for sure because AI gave me two different answers about that, but they say because it’s not digestible, it does not cause problems with TMAU… although some people don’t have problems with sugar with Tmau I usually do. I try to limit my sugar to fruit or very little sugar, I will maybe eat blueberries or strawberries or something because sugar seems to trigger odor for me but AI says LACTULOSE is specifically researched for TMAU. They don’t sell it over-the-counter though. I went to the urgent care and got it called into Walmart while I was there for something else, so I suppose any regular doctor or gastroenterologist Dr. can prescribe it.

For bathing I put one or two teaspoons of the brand VIVA DORIA fine grain citric acid in my bath water. It’s like vinegar. It kills the body odor on skin. I soak for 15 minutes. You just have to be careful not to use too much because it’s strong. It saves me money on not having to buying a bunch of vinegar. I don’t know if it’s safe on skin to use every day so you’d have to look that up. I body wash after and then I use an healing lotion called Laroche Pose after my bathing etc regime.

Another product that I use is VIVA DORIA Activated charcoal in the bulk jar. AI, will tell you all different ways to take it, mostly it will tell you to take it two hours after you eat.. so it will not eat up your nutrients from your food. But I just take a half a teaspoon with every meal and make sure I drink a bottle and a half of water with it so it doesn’t make me constipated and I make sure I take my vitamins supplements at night 4 hours away from the charcoal to be sure I’m getting my vitamins and nutrients. It May not be the healthiest way. You can also take it 2 hours after a meal to be sure... Activated charcoal can cause constipation if you don’t drink enough water… and I make sure I take my vitamins supplements at night 4 hours away from the charcoal with meals to be sure I’m getting my vitamins and nutrients. AI says if you take charcoal with food you should wait four hours before taking vitamins because it slows your digestion…but if you take activated charcoal without food, you can take your vitamins two hours after…It May not be the healthiest way to take the charcoal with food. And it may work just fine waiting two hours after you eat to take the charcoal. It just doesn’t work best for me that way, it seems. But you can also just take it 2 hours after a meal to be sure as AI suggest. I’ll be careful and talk to my doctor also about all the supplements and vitamins and stuff first, especially if you have other conditions and are taking other medications… But it may work as well as taking the activated charcoal after a meal…but I’m hardheaded though and sometimes I don’t care and I just want to be sure and don’t want to smell…

I use NATURIUM the energizer mandelic acid body wash from target. I used to use the LUME body wash but I find this cheaper and it works the same for me, especially when using all the other products… but check and find out what works for you… Everybody’s chemistry, TMAU diagnosis, etc., is different.

I use THE-ORDINARY Glycolic acid 7% exfoliating toner From Ulta beauty to spray on my skin after I shower. I squeeze it in one of those little Walmart travel sprays bottles. And also, I use one of those big continuous spray bottles from Walmart in the laundry aisle. Sometimes it’s quicker to use the big bottle. I use the travel bottle when I’m out. You have to wait until you’re completely dry…, and then spray the toner and It is supposed to stop the odor from breaking through your skin for a long time through the day. It says that if you use it, it stops odor for 24 hours, but I have not had 24 hours with it. I think if i use it consistently it maybe will, because it builds up in your skin AI says… You’d have to look it up. My problem is consistency with everything lol. I also use it if I start to smell after a few hours after I shower or if I eat something bad. AI says the glycolic acid continues to work for you throughout the day without having to reapply it… I don’t know for how long though.

I also use PUREAYRE spray on my skin, if sweat or start to smell throughout the day, or if I eat something. I normally use unscented baby wipes first, if I can... but that PURE AYRE is supposed to instantly take away the smell. They said it is a reset so to speak almost like you’ve taken an shower…and it says it’s been researched to work for TMAU specifically. It says you can spray it on your body, your hair, etc. or you can gargle it for breath odor, etc. and it is safe to use a lot and won’t burn your skin, etc. They say it doesn’t work all day like the 7% glycolic acid does, but it does kill the body odor..… but again I’d look it up, because everybody is different.

I use 2 tablespoons of citric acid in my fabric softener section on my washing machine for my clothing. I use BORAX in the drum, as well as SUPER WASHING SODA and pour my detergent in there also. I decided after a lot of research on AI to use WINFRESH with OXI laundry detergent from Sam’s Club. It’s a big tub and weighs about 35 pounds. It’s cheaper than regular Tide detergent but AI says it works slightly better…Or you can just use tide detergent it’s supposed to work about the same… I only saw the TIDE powder in small packaging, not in bulk, so I didn’t get it. They say that the powder works the better than the liquid… and from my research it says to put no more than a quarter cup of tide or that winfresh detergent. Then add in there, the ARM AND HAMMER WASHING SODA, which is just a stronger baking soda… and then the BORAX. I don’t know the exact measurements… I guess it depends on Your load size… but those are some products that you I use, I think even if you just the detergent and put the citric acid in fabric softener section or the rinse cycle it would help… the citric acid works just like vinegar, but it’s stronger…, but it says it’s good to be soaked in your clothes in the soak cycle also. My machine does not allow me to soak my clothes for extremely long periods of time, so I have to unplug my machine to let it soak for a while… for baked dried in odors, when they have dried in the machine, AI says to soak them for a few hours or more…so if you have some strong odors in your clothing, it says to use the BORAX powder and some SUPER WASHING SODA, which is just stronger baking soda really, and let it soak for 4 to 6 hours or more, Then start the wash cycle and wash it as you normally would and put the citric acid in the fabric softener, section for the baked in odors.

But for the regular clothing it says to just use the regular cycle without soaking unless you have a soaking cycle already on your machine like mines, but my machine doesn’t soak for very long periods. So I have to unplug mine and restart the wash cycle… But it’s says once I have gotten all those strong odors out of the old clothing they should be ready to wash as usual with the detergent without soaking it so long… That’s what my AI chat told me about my clothing…, but to also be careful about the colored clothing and that it could possibly fade some, or maybe be damaging..., and to be careful about dark clothing, or maybe silk, etc. and to maybe do testing beforehand. Maybe you can just try it on old clothing that you do not wear anymore are going to throw away etc. cheap dollar clothing out of Goodwill etc.

Oh, I also used to use the AMACTLIN ACID CREAM in a white jar with a blue top only, from ULTA BEAUTY. The other jars with the green top, etc., have a strong smell…. But the AMACTLIN acid cream with the blue top-is supposed to work like the 7% gylosic acid but it’s not as strong. I used to use the 7% glycolic acid After my shower, let it dry and then layer it with the AMALACTIN acid cream, but AI says it’s not necessary, but I was using it for double protection… but It was costing me too much money so I stopped… but that may Work for somebody else, but also it may be too Much for your skin. AI says if your skin starts to dry out, etc. it could cause more odor problems for TMAU… and to always use a great Moisturizing lotion after using those products to stop any irritation, if any...and of course, if you shave and use those acids afterwards, like anything else, it might burn or irritate your skin for a little bit, or longer... but also, it may not be a problem after shaving etc at all…I don’t have a problem with irritation with the glycolic acid or any products that I use. It’s best to research it and see which ones work better for you.

Also are use air freshener called OZIUM from Walmart in a little blue can, it seems to work miracles… you have to do some research on it. You have to spray it and leave the room for a few minutes though, but it works. some people say it’s not safe because it says not to spray around you have to wipe some stuff down I don’t know. I don’t use it a whole I do use it if I’m having or I spray it in my car, etc. a lot of car cleaning places use it for cars… You just have to do some research on it…

Also for stronger odors in the house, car etc that will not go away, I use an industrial strength ozone machine called: NEW COMFORT SS12000 OZONE MACHINE

BUT YOU HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY EXTREMELY CAREFUL WITH THIS MACHINE. PEOPLE USE IT TO GET RID OF STUBBORN ODORS IN HOUSE. FIRE RESTORATION SPECIALIST USE IT ALL THE TIME, BUT YOU CANNOT BE IN THE HOUSE WHILE RUNNING IT AND WHEN IT SHUTS OFF, YOU HAVE TO GO IN THE HOUSE, PREFERABLY WITH A MASK OR SOMETHING OVER YOUR FACE OR HOLD YOUR BREATH IF YOU CAN FOR THAT LONG…, AND OPEN UP THE WINDOWS AND POSSIBLY DOORS AND AIR THE HOUSE OUT FOR AN HOUR OR MORE DEPENDING ON HOW LONG YOU RAN THE MACHINE. YOU HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WITH IT!
IT’S NOT AN EVERYDAY THING, JUST A RESET OF THE HOUSE. IT CHANGES THE FROM OXYGEN TO SOME KIND OF MOLECULAR STRUCTURE THAT CLEANS THE AIR ODOR FROM WALLS, CARPETS, AIR, DUCTS, ETC.… YOU HAVE TO LOOK IT UP AND SEE WHAT ALL IT DOES AND THE PRECAUTIONS . BUT I RESEARCHED IT A LOT AND FOUND THIS ISTHE BEST MACHINE FOR ME.… YOU HAVE TO REMOVE PETS PLANTS, ETC., FROM THE HOUSE BEFOREHAND AS WELL AS YOURSELF…

AND IF YOU USE IT AT STRONG, STRONG INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH LEVELS FOR A LONG PERIOD OF 12 HOURS OR MORE, AI SAYS, IT MAY START TO DAMAGE SOME OF YOUR RUBBER PARTS, ETC. IF CONSISTENTLY AT THOSE AND INTERVALS… BUT THEY SAY ON AI IT’S JUST IT CHANGES THE OXYGEN, ETC. TO GET RID OF THE SMELL SOME KIND OF WAY BUT I’M NOT SURE ABOUT THE STRUCTURE BUT I KNOW IT IRRITATES YOUR LUNGS AND YOU’RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO STAY IN THE HOUSE. IT SAYS IT’S NOT HARMFUL GAS. IT JUST MAKES IT HARD TO BREATHE SO YOU SHOULDN’T LEAVE IMMEDIATELY… MY MACHINE HAS A TIMER ON IT THAT SAYS YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE LOL IT COUNTS DOWN.

AFTERWARDS, YOU SHOULD RUN IN AND AIR OUT THE HOUSE BY OPENING ALL THE AND DOORS-AND MAYBE USE A FAN TO SUCK THE AIR OUT FOR AN HOUR OR MORE DEPENDING ON HOW LONG YOU’RE IN THE MACHINE. THAT GIVES THE AIR TIME TO CHANGE BACK TO REGULAR BREATHING LEVELS NOT THE OZONE LEVELS I’M NOT SURE HOW LONG YOU NEED TO STAY OUT. I THINK IT DEPENDS ON HOW LONG YOU’RE IN THE MACHINE IT VARIES BY A SQUARE FOOTAGE, ETC.. BUT IF YOU COME IN THE HOUSE AND IT’S STILL A METALLIC LIKE SMELL, THEN IT’S STILL NOT SAFE TO STAY INSIDE YET… I STAYED ONE TIME AND IT IRRITATED MY LUNGS, I WAS BEING HARDHEADED BECAUSE IT WAS NIGHT AND I WANTED TO GO TO SLEEP, SO I TRIED SLEEPING UNDER THE COVERS. THE AIR DID NOT HAVE TIME TO CHANGE BACK TO NORMAL BREATHABLE LEVELS FROM OZONE LEVEL, SO BE CAREFUL WITH THAT… DON’T BE HARDHEADED LIKE ME. BUT I WAS JUST FINE AFTERWARDS, I GUESS. I THINK IN THE LONG RUN, IT MAY CAUSE SOME TYPE OF LUNG IRRITATION OR IRRITATE ASTHMA OR SOMETHING LIKE, IF YOU KEEP STAYING INSIDE WITHOUT AIRING OUT THE AREA. BUT YOU HAVE TO CHECK IT OUT ALL THE PRECAUTIONS, BUT I THINK IM MAKING IT SOUND WORSE THAN IT REALLY IS I BELIEVE, BUT SOME PEOPLE USE THIS MACHINE WHILE THEY ARE INSIDE THE AND THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU AT ALL… But also Some people say itis helpful for people to drive out bugs and some people say it Drives out mice because they can’t Breathe… but it definitely will kill dust mites, fleas etc. in the house or garage, etc, people say. I think they are correct. I was thinking about using it in my attic because I hear noises in the attic, it’s likely just the settling or the temperature change in the wood, but I’m scared of mice lol but if there are mice in there, I don’t want to drive them in the walls. I said I was going to put it in the attic and then open up my attic door and open up my garage and maybe if it’s something in there, it would run out of the attic door in the garage down the ladder and outside lol…

FOR EVERY DAY USE, I LOOKED UP AN AIR PURIFIER THAT REALLY WORKS OUT FOR ME AND IT IS CALLED: PLASMA WAVE WINIX AIR PURIFIER. It is supposed to get rid of odors continuously. It has some type of carbon strong, thick filter that’s supposed to work better than any other one of the purifiers but you know everybody has their opinion. It’s supposed to to automatically turn On when it detects odors, And work harder, when it the odors, I believe it does work because if I come into my laundry room and I smell The blue red when it detects the and it starts to really clean the more lol I believe it does work and I guess that’s an indicator for me that I smell because I can’t smell myself with U lol so I don’t really need another person To tell me if I smell I believe. All I have to do is walk in a close room with the machine lol . I’ve only had a few weeks but that’s what I’ve been noticing lol. There are several different models and filters, but the kind that I have is the model 5510. Reviews say be careful about getting the right filte, they say the other models don’t have a replacement filter that fits in some models, but that the 5510 model does have the correct size filter but I don’t know what’s going on with tha, or if it’s true or not…I haven’t ordered a filter replacement filter yet… they say the filters don’t need to be changed but maybe every 6 months depending on how much it’s used or maybe longer… and it says you’re supposed to get “filter Q”. But the Machine does come with it The filter, but when it’s time to change the filters, they say you have to be careful about getting the right filter. Also, when you buy the machine, you have to be careful to take out the filters and remove the plastic. And I learned that they Go in in a certain order it’s three little things that go in there; the carbon filter, a whit filter and like a front plate that’s behind the grill. But it’s very quiet and It seems to work. I put it in my laundry room to keep the odors my clothes fresh once I wash them in case I have a bad day or week and get odors in my house. I believe it does work because if I come into my laundry room and I smell The blue light turns red when it detects odors and then it starts to really clean the more lol. I believe it does work and I guess that’s an indicator for me that I smell because I can’t smell myself with TMAU lol, so maybe I don’t really need another person To tell me if I smell I believe lol. All I have to do is walk in a closed room with the machine lol . I’ve only had it a few weeks but that’s what I’ve been noticing .There are several different models and filters, but the kind that I have is the model 5510. Reviews say be careful about getting the right filter, they say the other models don’t have a replacement filter that fits in some models, but that the 5510 model does have the correct size filter but I don’t know what’s going on with tha, or if it’s true or not…I haven’t ordered a filter replacement filter yet… they say the filters don’t need to be changed but maybe every 6 months depending on how much it’s used or maybe longer… and it says you’re supposed to get “filter Q”. But the Machine does come with it The filter, but when it’s time to change the filters, they say you have to be careful about getting the right filter.

And I learned that they Go in in a certain order it’s three little things that go in there; the carbon filter, a white filter and like a front plate that’s behind the grill. But it’s very quiet and It seems to work. I put it in my laundry room to keep the odors out of my clothes once I wash them… if I have a bad day and get odors in my house, I don’t wanna have to rewash my clothes over but I can also spray that PUREAYRE food grade spray on my clothing and it will get rid of the smells, but I’d rather just keep that air filter in there also and then maybe I will spray my clothing when I get ready to leave to go somewhere to be super sure. I do not put my clothing inside of the house, in closets or in drawers because I know my house will likely smell as soon as I have a bad day or week and it will get in my clothing… i’ll just leave all my clothing in the laundry room with the air purifier… And I also have an automatic air freshener dispenser in there that I’ve had for a while, but I don’t think I need it anymore because I have the air purifier… I don’t wanna bathe and do all that extra stuff, and then my clothes smell and people think it’s my body odor, or I think I’m having a bad day when I’m not, and its actually just my clothing smelling bad and not me that day. Oh and I have one of those WINN air purifiers in my house by my cat litter box also... And on another side note lol, I found this really great litter box that doesn’t have all those apps and that seems to be great. It’s called pet safe scoop free classic self cleaning litter box. It works much better than the regular litter boxes and there’s no scooping. I hate using those litter box apps and those expenses machines. A lot of people say those expensive ones work as well as this one also though. This one only cost me a little over 100 bucks from PetSmart. The litter trays, you just change those out every month. You just throw it away 🙌🙌😁. It’s a lifesaver for me lol I think they sell the trays a little cheaper at Walmart for about 25 bucks but it really helps and keeping the cat litter box odors out of my house. They also sell a reusable tray that you can fill with crystals also… but I’m a germophobe and don’t want to clean the litter tray, wash it, etc. or whatever you have to do to clean it lol. The litter box I like may not work for everybody. Some people say it doesn’t work for them, if they have multiple cats etc. And that it smells worse. The site suggest you stir it once a week, but really it rakes itself. I don’t know… But I’ve only had it a few weeks myself…but after a lot of research on AI, etc. it seems what I found that works best for me. I don’t hardly smell anything. and I don’t have to deal with all the apps, malfunctioning, etc. it may help also if you feed your cat a better brand of food so the poop and urine may not smell as much.…

I hope a lot of this helps because, I know it is super tough dealing with this TMAU and finding the right foods, products etc.

I’m likely not going to be able to respond to any comments. I usually have 1 million things going on at once… But I really just wanted to get on here and help some people, especially the new people dealing with this TMAU. MY REGIMES MAY HELP FOR OTHER BODY ISSUES OR CONDITIONS ALSO, I DON’T KNOW…… I am almost 50 years old and have been dealing with this since I was about 13. I finally found out what it was when I was about 22 years old. It has been rough dealing with it throughout the years… But I guess really I’m really blessed not to care a whole lot about what people think so much and go on about my life… I thank the Lord I was raised by a lot of tough women… but I have my days and weeks etc… and grown-ups can be worse than the kids a lot of times with their comments and actions…

Also TMAU is known as a genetic condition also, from what I’ve read… and I think some people get diagnosed and use it as a disability for their jobs in case they try to fire them… I had my papers and was ready in case I had that problem… I’m not sure how true that is so do your research FIRST lol… A lot of jobs and these bosses are something else. I’ve almost gotten fired twice and got picked on by bosses a lot trying to drive me out but I had unions, etc. and I had my Tmau paper with my diagnosis ready… It’s a shame that you have to deal with people like this. It makes this condition so much harder… People are so ignorant, thinking you can just bathe to get rid of body odor, they have no clue about medical conditions, etc. it shouldn’t matter and they should not harass people anyhow… But I’ve learned to just pray for people and let God handle them. I usually tell them they’re going to reap what they sow for being ugly to me, or say nothing, depending on my mood…and go on about my day… But it’s true, people will have to reap what they sow when they’re being ugly to people… I’ve learned over the years that there’s no need to try to pay them back, the karma is coming ✔️😂…

But hopefully these products, foods etc help… Good luck everybody. Hopefully Dr. STANLEY HAZEN from the Cleveland Clinic comes out with his TMAO pill soon... but AI says it may be another 3 years or more… that’s something to follow online 🙌😁…that pill would be for cardiac prevention for the buildup of TMA in the bloodstream or something like that, but Tmau people should be able to use it also off label likely, if your doctor prescribes it I believe from my research and you’d be able to take one pill a day from what I’m reading and not have to worry about anything and just eat whatever wanna eat and be like regular people all day without all the work of bathing, using lotions etc, washing clothes, all the time, etc.… I’m looking forward to that… but, he’s been working on that for a long time I think since about 2020… So hopefully bye 2030 or somewhere around there AI says it will likely be ready but there’s no definite time things could stall, etc.. I think it stalled during Covid… also some other organizations working on stuff for curious but Dr. Hazen seems to have the most promising one… please don’t try to call Dr Hazen… I think at one time their office got overwhelmed with TMAU questions when they first started and it slowed their progress maybe… But he an actual MD doctor I believe and are not like those researchers at the university's studying Tmau, so he’s likely to have a better cure and finish earlier, but the university study’s may come out with a cure faster than he does who knows lol…

Also, I’ll be very careful about the perfumes that you wear because a lot of them especially those that have MUSK cause worse body odors. But through AI I found a few perfumes that I can use that actually fight odors. A few of them are called fresh lemon sugar. There are a few more, but you have to look them up. I think the dolce and Gabbana light blue works with TMAU but normally a citrus scent works the best. I also got Burberry goddess perfume, that helps and didnt magnify the odors either. It seems to help to spray it on clothing though… I suppose you could spray it on your skin, but I wouldn’t chance it… they say it magnifies on the skin. There are more men and women perfumes colognes that I think will work, y’all could tell I ask it which U and which ones clash and I asked it to give me a chart with percentage numbers that it will clash etc. and it tells me everything I need to know… I just love AI lol. I thought I could never wear perfume again in my life lol. But agai, I wouldn’t trust AI 100 hundred percent because it does have the tendency to say the wrong thing sometimes, especially with complex issues that have more than one answer… but most of the time I think the Claude AI is right more than the others for TMAU help…

Hang in there. It took me a long time to write this and I used Speech text so I may have some typos. I hope everything works out for everyone… we’re almost at the finish line, but until then I think these products would be extremely helpful. I’m really almost close to normal… With my regimen right now.

I don’t really know how to work this Redit post app but it made me put a link in here to continue to post this, if I wasn’t able to delete it. I think I did… but I’m not promoting any products or anything. You can do research to see what works best for you because I found that with TMAU, some things don’t work for everybody… maybe somebody can post this on the TMAU group because it kept kicking it out for some reason.

But I think AI is your best friend when it comes to getting information and options for TMAU. I wish they had it 20 years ago. Any questions you may have AI have the answers 🙌🙌 lol… I just found what has worked for me on AI, everybody may be different. will help you with your and put it in order and tell you what is better to use etc..

I really just wanted to help some people and share some products, etc. because I know starting out not knowing what this is beyond frustrating, and I really just dealing with it day-to-day over the years is a lot also, but you may kind of get used to it. But I am pretty strong and don’t care about what people think a whole lot also… this is how I feel about them and their opinions 🖕🖕😂. I say to myself I take more baths than them and their whole family does in one day 😛😆, I know I’m cleaner than all of them put together… that makes me feel better 😛 😂…

They say it is best to talk to your doctor first before trying these supplements and taking activated charcoal etc, though…

The desire to live when my hygiene isn’t sufficient and doctors say I don’t smell but others say otherwise.

My journey with the smell and gastroenterologist and cure.read please this can help.

My armpit odour

Has anyone here used Arrid XX Extra Extra Dry for strong body odor or sweating? How was your experience with it? Did it last all day and help with strong odor?
