Diagnoses and solution

So it’s been over 2 years that I started to smell like fecal , the root cause we still don’t know but my functional doctor thinks it’s the GLP1 I was taking for a year that slow my digestion and also I was in a high stress job stressing causing my body odor .
I been tested for all 3 test for SIBO they all came back negative.i don’t have any over growth of fungus from why I been tested my liver and kidneys are great
So far I have had an endo and colonoscopy both came back I have gastritis, chronic GERD, internal hemorrhoids and a fissure

I have the smell super persistent in my nose I suspect it’s my sinuses they gave me antibiotics but nothing happened and now I will be getting a CT scan for my sinuses next week on 10/13 I really hope that’s what causing the smell and we can correct it

But my question has anyone ever been diagnosed with the things I mentioned and they fixed ithe issue and the smell went away?

Diabetic body odour

Hey all, as the title suggests, I've developed some body odour in the past few years after going from pre-diabetic to diabetic. My endocrinologist assures me that it should get better as my health metrics improve, which they have gradually. I shower regularly, use deoderant but I still sweat profusely (also a function of where I live) and can't seem to make it better. Anyone have any experiences or solutions for this as a diabetic?

Weird scalp smell

I do have very strong body odor but my scalp gives off this very weird sweat smell that is so strong. It smells like sweat and potatoes, I don’t really know how to describe it. I showered the other day and the whole restroom smelled like my scalp odor. I just freshly washed my hair and as the fan is blowing onto scalp, it’s releasing that same smell. It happens anytime I add any type of moisture to my hair, or when I start to sweat, my hair starts smelling like this. When it unwashed and I’ve eaten a lot of sugar or bread, it gets this sickening sweet/yeasty bread smell.
