My current findings with the TMAU
I have not been tested for TMAU but since I moved back to the states after three months I began to notice changes with my body odor, especially coming from my anus. I tried everything for months and months until recently it was worse and I was about to break emotionally. I tried to listen to my body and the more pills I consumed, zinc, chlorophyll ect. didn't seem to make a difference. The last month my stress levels had cllmaxed not just from this odor but problems with work and home. Deep down I keep telling myself for months to go buy an enema bag and do hydro therapy but ignored the idea until the other day. I purchased one for 10 bucks and researched several sites. I landed at the Optimal Health Network and watch some videos and learned their ideas of colon cleansing. In conclusion I did a 3 stage enema: 1) 1 quart of warm water followed by 2) coffee enema - 2-3 cups then another 3) 1 quart enema. I did these back to back then made a suppository with plastic wrap, for shaping, coconut oil and 5 drops of peppermint oil. I have used enemas a couple times in the past but the results this time helped in some way.
My odor would come from my anus, the sweat coming from my hands and rarely from my pores on my arms. The smell would vary from time to time but never had the poop smell just another smell I can not describe.
I work in a restaurant as a server and the stress, the ridicule and all that fun stuff has been a challenge. I supplement daily with Milk Thistle, Cats Claw, Licorice (only weekly phases) and wormwood and black walnut. Also I eat clean most of the time, I alkalize several times a week with 3 tbs of apple cider vinegar. I hope this can help you all. Please ask questions I know this is a difficult disorder to live with and I don't believe its a genetic disorder but maybe a mutation through our foods, water (think of all the chemicals vaporized while showering) and many other outside influences. I send my love to you all.
I work a lot and attend college so it may take time to respond but I want to be of some help to everyone.
** I will keep updates**
Another thing. I went from showering 2 times plus daily to once on top of having to wash bed linens several times a week because the odor would stick to them.
Question:
1) Has anyone noticed discoloration in stools?
2) Feeling as those after bowl movements there is pressure as you could go again but unable?
3)Feel the need to shower after using the restroom so that you can properly clean rectum
