Change In Sweat Smell

[whatwhat]

Hi wonderful ab people! I have another little question! I do a fair bit of exercise, but just recently I have noticed a real change in the smell of my fresh sweat.. it’s become a kind of sickly sweet smell.. it actually makes me wretch and it’s making me really self conscious!! I have always sweated a lot in classes.. but it never used to have a noticeable smell.. I was wondering if it could be due to anaemia (recently diagnosed) or celiac (having biopsy in few weeks) or something else.. or just nothing!!
Many thanks for your greatfully received advice!

I am sure that anaemia nor Coeliac disease is the culprit in your question and the answer almost certainly lies in your diet, more particularly your change in diet.
No big deal...........don't worry.

The simple rule is, what we eat we excrete, so it is probably something you are eating or drinking.

Have a check on anything you have recently added to your diet and cut it out, see if the problem goes.

If you have had a cold then maybe your sense of smell is returning and your odour has always been as you are detecting it now.

have you changed your soap or deodorant ?

I have noticed that for the last six months maybe I have been smelling differently, its a sort of menthol smell and at first I thought it was my bedding and I tossed everything out and got new stuff but after a week the smell returned !
Its quite annoying because the smell gets stronger and it effects my breathing, so I have to change my sheets more often, my daughter does not seem to smell it and I thought about speaking to Doc about but have not yet . I think I have accepted it might well be the medication I am on.
