I am not sure why you mention tetracyclines but its one thing we have in common,and I think someone before had mentioned it in this forum.Now I start to suspect this might be the cause of our misery.I had taken also tetracyclines for Acne treatment for about a month I think,and I can relate the beggining of all my troubles with that time period.It is sure,for me,that this smell is trigered by pure anxiety and stress.Most people have anxiety in social occasions.Thats why you dont get this smell at home.When I am at home I feel very relaxed in comparison when being in public places.Maybe tetracyclines kill some of the natural flora of our stomach or guts that prevent these kind of smells coming out(..just speculating).It is possible that if very anxious people start getting this Antibiotic they will have problems.In the beggining of all my trouble the smell was quite strong.After some months the intensity of the smell was significantly decreased but the problems persists.Another thing I have noticed is that the smell comes out after prolonged anxiety in public(maybe after a couple of hours)and not immediately
I have noticed also that people in this forum possibly talk about three diferent Body Odor problems.TMAU syndrome is very different,because its trigered by certain food and has a distinctive rotten fish odor and not feces odor.Also a different problem that results in feces odor may be caused by smoking.In the end there is the feces odor trigered by anxiety(and maybe in combination with tetracyclines).The later two may be the same.
Up to this day I have found no way to fight this problem.Please update the forum with any new info that you get.
Greetings.
