Denver TMAU Test Lab survey click here
click to Read more/less

USA survey for anyone who wants to improve Denver TMAU test

begun : Dec22
end : no ending for now

A trainee genetic counselor is working at the Denver TMAU test lab. Probably as part of her training. As a project she wishes feedback on any aspect of the Denver TMAU test and process. You can fill in the survey and/or email her (email address is in survey). It's meant for USA people, but perhaps others can give their view too (as we have so few opportunities).

quote from her rareconnect post

"Hello all! I wanted to make you aware of a research study being conducted to better understand the experience and needs of individuals with trimethylaminuria with a goal of being able to create improved patient and healthcare provider education materials. Any participation is completely voluntary and all responses remain confidential. Feel free to use the contact information within the link with any questions or share the survey with others with TMAU."

video: foot odor case caused by corynebacteria

Possibly many cases of bad foot odor are regarded by sufferers as 'incurable', whereas in reality it may be a case of having a local undidagnosed foot infection. Most are aware of 'athletes foot', which is a fungal problem, but perhaps bacteria infections are overlooked.

This is a video of a case of foot odor caused by corynebacteria. The Dr describes his condition as 'pitted keratolysis'. It is from a TV programme about body/foot odors aired on TV in the UK in the early-mid 90s.

Apparently in 2006, a paper was published that claimed that the main source of foot odor in cases that didn't have pitted keratylosis was caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis. The smell in this case is said to be caused by isovaleric acid.

points of discussion:

The Dr presribes an antibiotic cream. Perhaps there are other topical ways to kill the bacteria off. Or even oral-natural-antibiotic type answers (such as herbs).

Anyone with 'incurable' foot odor should probably ask their health system to check your feet out for local infections.

Perhaps today the likes of antibacterial socks make the problem more easily treatable.

Perhaps it indicates a gut flora issue, but this would be very speculative to assume.
