That person suffered from body odour for 10 years, so they work. Two people have taken probiotics so far on that support group, one with the fecal body odour. If you have ever taken a large amount of Antibiotics , you should try probiotics. Antibiotics wipe out 'good' bacteria. Candida and 'bad' bacteria get out of control robbing the body of nutrients and vital minerals. Why do you think zinc works for some people? It is because people with body odour have a weak immune system from overgrowths in bad bacteria. I also know of people that have taken B6 and I know of a person who took riboflavin, who had a strong fecal smell, who is now cured. I have read a post on this forum about someone taking niacin (vitamin B3). Why however would these people be lacking in all those things?? Maybe its a lack of good gut flora. This is an extract from a article about probiotics...

"In the human large intestine, bifidobacteria synthesize vitamins that are slowly absorbed in tbe body. Bifidobacteria are known to produce thiamin, riboflavin, and vitamins B6 and K."

Body odour is a sign. Your body (and mine) is shouting at us to do something. I'm no scientist or doctor I am just trying to be logical about this very confusing condition. I think body odour comes from the bacteria on the skin in the first place. Bacteria reacts with sweat, etc. The type of bacteria on your skin is a sign of the bacteria in your body. I also think that in other cases sweat can stink, take Trimethylaminuria for example. A lack of good bacteria makes sense to me as the cause of bo/bad breath. Its all linked. I think this body odour/bad breath come from bacteria imbalance/candida/leaky gut. However what works for some might not work for others, but if you have ever taken a large amount of Antibiotics try probiotics. Sorry for rambling. Hope I help somewhat.
