I'm so self-concious of bad body odor ever since several years ago a co-worker blurted out in front of everybody that I smelled bad. She didn't exactly say it like that though. I had started having digestive issues at the time so I think that that could've been what caused the bad body odor but I'm not totally certain. Well the digestive issues turned out to be gallbladder problems. My gallbladder was full of gallstones and I needed to have it removed soon. I scheduled surgery to get the gallbladder removed and I thought that after the surgery all my health issues including the bad body odor would be gone, but that wasn't the case. Five years later I still get dirty looks, rude comments and gestures such as some rubbing their noses, others coughing and some even pinching their noses and waving their hand back and forth on the rare occassions I do get the nerve to go out. I've tried everything to try and figure out what's causing the odor and how to get rid of it. I've gone to doctors and told them about it but they either say they don't notice any odor or they brush it off and tell me not to worry about it. And yes I do take showers and baths. I probably shower and bathe more than any person on earth and there's still a foul odor or so I'm told. I've tried all sorts of different soaps and deodorants, internal deodorants such as chlorophyll tablets and or liquid and I've also changed my diet from a regular balanced all inclusive diet to a strict no meat, no dairy, no eggs, vegetarian diet and nothing worked. I don't know what else to do. It's all I think about when I go out and has caused me to also have severe anxiety. Surprisingly, I am married and my husband says he doesn't notice any odor or any of the peoples comments and gestures. He just tells me I pay too much attention to the people around me.
