Hi, let me explain i’am [redacted] old and in my first year of high school. This all started in middle school in mid-year of 6th grade. After an “incident” I had to change classes, some time later people started to say I smell.I was already getting bullied so I thought others were being cruel but even old friends started saying the same thing.
Fast-foward I noticed that my teachers and other students younger and on the same grade level as me genuinely thought I smelled.My breath and body, I would ask my close friend’s and they too genuinely said I didn’t.My family ended up moving away from our state to Georgia,
I am at a new school around new people & strangers and the same thing is happening.I’ve went to the doctor before they couldn’t smell anything didn’t see anything wrong said I was fine.But even in public strangers outside of family have said that I reek ,
Things people describe: musty, Ass,shit,pee,fishy).I always ask my family and they say no my mom has tried looking but nothings worked.i’ve just recently went to the doctor she’s prescribed me antibiotics , I suspect I have an condition TMAU but I havn’t taken an test for it.
Its sad that most tests come back negative and doctors can’t smell anything or family.When I confront other’s or ask those who’ve made comments they say no, but feel so comfortable speaking behind my back other than telling the truth.Can someone help? does anyone have answers?
I’m sorry you’re going through this—it sounds incredibly frustrating and isolating. It might be worth pursuing further testing for conditions like TMAU or consulting with a specialist who focuses on metabolic or odor-related disorders.
I am sorry you feel that way. You are awesome,and I believe all is well.
You can incorporate the following to your routine,and if you already do,maybe increase the frequency:
1.Bath twice daily with antiseptic soap.
2. Use of anti perspirant deodorant (48h strength)
3. Brush your teeth after each meal with focus on the tongue.
4. Extra effort in cleaning your private area after each visit to the loo.
5. Never repeat a dress without washing as they could retain sweat from the previous usage
I’m sorry you had to go through that, it sounds awful. When I read this, I immediately thought of a baking soda bath. It’s supposed to be good for a bunch of things regarding health, even for odor control. People use it in homemade deodorants, baths, homemade natural toothpastes etc. I use it as toothpaste and I also take one teaspoon of it on an empty stomach, sometimes even several times a day. It could be worth trying or possibly making into a routine?
I also got an image of chlorophyll in my mind when reading this, chlorophyll is supposed to help the body from the inside out to reduce body odor as well. I’ve tried that too, it works well for sweating and such, but I have no way of knowing if any of these things would help your situation.
I would personally avoid any deodorant which has aluminum in it, when the body is full of heavy metals one can easily smell terrible. Sometimes companies will be sneaky in how they type it out in the labels, so better look into it properly in case you would like to avoid it. In such cases it could be combated with rigorous detox of the lymphatic system and really all organs meant to cleanse the body as well.
For lymphatic drainage I can securely recommend infrared sauna as it detoxes the body at depths a normal sauna cannot easily do. Herbs for lymphatic cleansing and drainage include but not limited to, Cleavers, Poke Root, Red Clover and Dandelion. Creams, salves and extract tinctures can be made from these herbs. It is effective for its intended purpose. This is not medical advice, by the way, I just want to help.
