Help-my body seems to be giving off a "smell"

one thing you might want to try is after you brush your teeth, swish with about 1 tablespoon of hydrogen perioxide--DO NOT SWALLOW!!!  Also, drink plenty of water throughout the day.  The dry mouth can cause odor.

swish for about 30 seconds and spit.  It can help with your gums and keeps the bad breath away-at least that's what the dentist says. 

If you are sure you aren't in ketosis and it's from your skin, I would follow Red's suggestion to the letter.

Many foods ooze out of the pore.  Garlic is one of them.  Many other spices can do the same for normies.  Due to our inability to absorb 80% of fat, perhaps it's a spice or food that is the culprit.

Someone else mentioned a tooth or gum infection (despite you saying it's not from your mouth). 

Reflux can cause icky breath too.  Are you on a daily PPI like nexium?

I hope you find a resolution soon.  I'd be mortified too.

I'm with Julie on the residual effects of DS gas. People don't realize there seems to be an oil in DS gas that will stay with you until you wa**** off/out. People think because they fart in an unoccupied area, through their clothes, no one will know. Not the case with DS gas. Your clothes act like a filter, picking up the oil. And as you walk through an area, you can leave a smell trail.

And those who think if you hold your gas long enough, it just goes away, it does. It quietly and slowly seeps out your butt. Just because you aren't rumbling the windows doesn't mean you aren't passing gas.

If carbs give you gas, watch the carbs. If you need it, take Flagyl or proibotics. Just because you can't smell it, doesn't mean it isn't there.

   It quietly and slowly seeps out your butt.

That sounds like a great advertising campaign.  Now we just need to find a product to go with it.  

You are a freakin riot, man!

Thanks for the copious amounts of laughter.  BTW, my mom appreciated it too!

You do know that it is just the ramblings of a feeble mind. 

You poor thing!!!  Well, since it's "out there" at work, I'd have the people complaining help you to narrow this down.  Find out EXACTLY what they think it smells like.  They may KNOW what they think it is but too embarrassed to tell you.  Does it smell like poop or mouth rot or is it sweet or what?  Ask them for specifics so you can get to the bottom of it.  Is it all of the time or just sometimes?  Is it when they are close to you, when you walk by or is it at a distance?  Can you ask family and friends to be honest with you and help you?  Can you type up a confidential form to have your coworkers fill out to help you? 

Primal Defense Ultra was the only probiotic that helped a friend of mine with rot gut.  I thought his breath smelled like cancer of the stomach would smell.  Probiotics fixed it almost immediately.  Also, one thing that came to mind is yeast smell from skin fungus that can happen from loose skin.  My gyno told me to use a hair dryer to dry my body and then use an antifungal powder Ziasorb all over where skin touches skin. 

When you figure this out, let us know what was the culprit.  I feel for you!

Thanks for your reply.  They have told me that it is not a body odor smell , poop smell or mouth rot.  They all say it is  hard to explain but like a sweet, pungent over powering almost metallic smell.  They notice it a lot in meetings when they are in close quarters with me.  I am taking primal defense probiotics as well.

I think I know what you are talking about, it's like a sour smell.  I always thought that was ketosis.

Yeh that is probably it, now any idea on how to get rid of it?
