This post will be used to compile information in order to persuade any interested medically-based experts and/or physicians about the concept of metabolic body odor. It may also be a good reference link for any readers wanting to convince a health worker of the concept. Mainly it will be about metabolic body odors other than trimethylaminuria, but may include TMAU links in order to convince readers of the concept of untreated metabolites circulating in the main blood circulation (especially with regards the probable number of sufferers). It will be updated as needed. For any interested parties reading, the main type of metabolic body odor type seems to 'gut-smells' body odor, although it can vary even from that. What is known on the forums mostly as 'Fecal body odor'.
