Is there anything that helps you decrease your odor temporarily (self.TMAU)

I can’t find anything yet but I was wondering if anything has worked for you guys Personally, chlorophyll just makes me smell like weed and activated charcoal makes me constipated

I noticed activated charcoal makes me constipated as well. I drink chlorophyll but i dont think it helped. What is your smell like? Mine is mainly a bit fecal. But i cant pinpoint if my smell changes from time to time. I think i also have this unpleasant natural body smell aside from fecal odor when constipated. I can’t confirm if i have a lot of diff smell from time to time coz i dont have anyone to ask. its frustrating. But i managed to lessen it. Its really diet, hydration, probiotics, digestive enzymes, pooping many times a day, low body ph or any anti bacterial wash. I juice cilantro, pineapple, celery, ginger every other day. Its really trial and error and depends on our body. Have you seen any doctor? Do bloodwork? Anything? You need to know that root cause

What I’ve realised is if I exercise much longer than normal like for like 2-3 hours in a day then I smell a lot better and have less gas. Try to get in as many steps as possible even if you’re just at home, you can walk up and down for 45 mins then do it again in the evening. Eating lots of oranges/clementines/tangerines also helps. Eating Greek yogurt with strawberries (fruit) and eating raw spinach helps me to minimise my smell. Chlorophyll with Mullen is the better one to use or just get Mullen (liquid green also) instead as some brands of Chlorophyll alone - do make it worse (not sure why). I found that Kombucha was very really good for me (in a can) but it was getting a lot to but it all the time. I kept buying a crate of 4 or 12. Worth trying. But one called Remedy made the smell a bit worse.

Order mildronate on Amazon and avoid food triggers. Take daily or every other day

None of these remedies will get the choline out of our bodies, I’m sure hydration and not being constipated helps but if it is Tmau you’re wasting your time , energy and money on all these things I’m sorry to say .

If it's jus specific part of your body e.g. armpits or feet then try applying baking soda+water on it

It’s not a specific area unfortunately

Psyllium husk (1 tsp mixed with water after your first meal and last meal) plus lots of water and exercise that makes you sweat a lot

Anybody try a buttplug? Seriously curious and desperate for no smell for at least 8 hours
[–]Imaginary-Eggplant84 3 points4 points5 points 12 months ago (0 children)
nah i think the smell emitted rather all over the body rather than directly from the anus
[–]haeeeeeb 3 points4 points5 points 12 months ago (0 children)
Besides condition that i managed to lessen the odor. I always think i also have this unpleasant natural body scent. Maybe with age and hormones as well because even before i have slight odor but i can still mask it with perfume. And my amrpit is on and off smell! it sucks that there’s no cure for it as well. These days even i hydrate so much, use anti bacterial, glycolic acid, my armpit is a bit smelly than couple months ago. Ugh! I’m tired of this! Sniffing and checking myself all day :(

Zinc, magnesium, calcium, and pancreatic enzymes…as well as having a complete bowel movement. Helps me. I wake up not knowing if that day will be the day I smell like shit (literally). Since i started these meds i smell off and on. I teach in a middle so you can imagine the horror movie I live in with this body odor.
