    Why do I smell?
    Ok, as embarrassing as it is to say this, here is the situation, I shower TWICE EVERYDAY. I shower when I wake up, and I shower after I get home from work. Yes, I use soap, shampoo and deoderant, and sometimes conditioner. And yet, I still smell like I haven't bathed in months, why is that?

    I heard on the news and in fact I did know someone who had this problem. Go to a good doc. It is a medical condition. There is no cure but you can alter your "smell" by the foods you eat.

    Yeah, I heard the same thing, but I never heard of anyone who had that condition. I can't remember, did they give it a name? But yeah helper, I'd go see a doc.

    All I remember this friend had a smell, it was very sour. Her father met up with all her friends and said it was a genetic glandular problem (never gave the name). All her friends were very supportive. The funny thing is she said she smelled, everybody said they smelled it, but I never did smell anything

    I know that your diet can really affect your smell. People on the Atkins diet who are eating mainly protein smell horrible (my mom was on it). Maybe if you are a big meat eater it could be that, but other than that I have no ideas. Sorry.

    There are people who have this problem. I would say is best bet is to see your doctor.

    I do believe personally that possibly changing your diet could actually help in the smell too, but I do not have details about that.

    Good luck.

    See a doctor and dietician. Smells are down to two things. Firstly it's the bacteria on your body breaking down physical excretions and the second is the nature of those excretions... eat lots of garlic and YOU will stink to high heaven! Great for annoying workmates.
