This few days, I don't even know what the hell I was doing. My lecturer gave my mom a call yesterday, about how my attendance was under 20%, and whether she knew about it. I haven't even told my mom about the problem I was facing, because she couldn't smell it at all. She simply had no idea what I was going through, even the fact of taking a train to school was tedious for me. Having to withstand the comments and coughing, I never did wish to smell this bad. I believed none of us here wanted to.

There are obviously some who had body odor problem which are due to hygiene problem. But people like me and some others, even have the smell after bathing. This is definitely not normal. Why would someone wants to smell bad? This is something I never understand. why other people who never encounter the problem said that we had a offensive smell because we didn't bathe. Everyone wants to smell good. Everyone just wants to be normal.

Anyways, my mom confronted me about why I wasn't going to school, she thought I was hanging out at some arcade or some places. When I told her truthfully the problem I was facing, the fact that I was at home and never even stepped out, she was shocked. She thought I was out there fooling around and not wanting to study anymore. But at least she understand the problem I am facing through now. And I am going to see a Chinese physician on Monday about my problem.

I have been only seeing the western medical doctors, which isn't helping. So she suggested seeing some physician and see what happens. I also have a CT scan arranged on 1st May, to see if the smell came from some anatomical problems. Its good to have someone on my side now. But I need some help here, How do you know where the source of the odor come from? Like is it from your armpit, or is it from your anal or is it your mouth?

Jake, try eliminating annatto from your diet. I know it has a different name in Asia. Look up "annatto" on Google. Or achiote. It is a tree with red seeds in the flowers. It makes food red. They grow the tree in Indonesia, Malaysia and Philiphines. I am sure it is used in Singapore. I was just there in February.
I suffered for 45 years and not any more since I figured it out three years ago. In the States it is in vanilla colored ice creams, non-dairy creamers, bottled salad dressings, crackers, cereal, popcorn,
and rice noodles, just to name a few things. Oh, yellow cheeses like Cheddar, American and Velveeta.
If you contact me with your email, I can send you my list. If this is your problem and you omit it from your diet, you'll know in a couple days.

Jake, there is hope, you may also email me at (email removed by a Mod, for your own safety please do not post your email on a public site. thank you) and I can send you what I am taking, I have been symptom free now for 2 months, it is all natural, no chemicals and works - email me, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Denise
